Trains were first used in 1829 with the Stourbridge Lion train as the first steam train. Railroads were invented as early as 1550 for mining use, and they were called Wagonways.

There were trains before steam power: animal and even people drawn. *Added - The first train is often debated, as is also the first railroad. People powered "trains" date to the late 1500's, and trains were still constructed for people power in the 1800's. Most early trains used horses and the first railroads in the US used both gravity and horses for the trains.
Trains were first used for hauling coal in and out of mines. They were pulled by horses, mules, and/or, donkeys. The first steam locomotive was built in 1804 by Richard Threvithick.

Japanese Trains
Coal is still used in many steam engines today. Coal is not used on diesel trains or electric trains simply because it is not fuel for them. Electric trains and diesel trains are the most common trains in use, and not trains capable of using coal, because they are more efficent and much less costly to maintain.
Bullet trains were first invented in japan!
