Question

When did trains begin

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT-4 Turbo]

Trains began in the early 19th century. The world's first full-scale working railway steam locomotive was built in the United Kingdom by George Stephenson and his son Robert Stephenson. Named the Locomotion No. 1, it ran on the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825. This is often considered the beginning of railway age. However, even before this, there were prototypes and developments in rail technology using horse-drawn wagons on wooden or metal tracks.

The success of early railways quickly led to the spread of train networks across the world, revolutionizing transportation and the movement of goods and people on a scale never seen before.
