Trains

The steam train
The first public railway in the world opened in 1825. It ran between Stockton and Darlington in England. Thirty-four wagons carrying coal or passengers were pulled by the steam engine (called the 'Locomotion').

Steam transport had begun and soon spread into Europe and America.
