Over the last 200 years, railroads have been one of the most important methods of transportation. Railroads helped make the modern world. They are capable of transporting people and goods quickly over long distances at a low cost.
However, most people would be shocked to learn that railways predate the development of locomotives. In fact, the earliest evidence of using some sort of premade track dates back thousands of years before the first locomotive.
…and despite the development of new and faster forms of transportation, rails look to continue to have a bright future.
Learn more about railways, their history, and their future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
