The First Passenger Railway

The First Passenger Railway, established in 1825 in England, marked the beginning of regular rail transport for people. It used steam-powered locomotives to pull carriages along iron tracks, revolutionizing travel by making it faster, more efficient, and accessible compared to horse-drawn vehicles. This development facilitated the movement of passengers over longer distances, greatly impacting trade, industry, and daily life by connecting cities and regions more effectively. It laid the foundation for the extensive global railway networks we rely on today.
