Intro

For many years people have been using train as the preferred mode of transportation. Rail ways shaped the world and changed the ways that we trade and transport goods and people.

The first train was built in 1825 and was named "The Rocket". even though it could only move 7kmph, it was still more efficient than the wagon ways that they had at the time.  "The Rocket" was powered  by steam and looked much different that most of the steam trains that are well  known today. the locomotive consisted of two cars, both made of iron. the first car consisted mainly of a smokestack, cylindrical boiler, and pipes and pistons. the second car was filled with coal to heat the boiler "The Rocket" could carry up to 5 tons.
