Many countries, a few include America and Britain who have Subways and the London Underground respectively. Russia also has a the Moscow Metro which is their underground system which was built much later and was one of Stalin's prestige projects, being one of the most extravagant underground railroad service.

Why did they call it the underground railroad if it wasnt a railroad?

The Underground Railroad was called a 'railroad' because there were multiple stops along the way for slaves to get food, clothes, and other supplies. It was called the 'underground' railroad because it was a mostly secret operation to get slaves from the South to the North and to Canada. Many would not stop in the North because they could still be captured and returned to their "owners."The Underground Railroad was a secret network to the North for escaping slaves in the South prior to the US Civil War. It was a step-by-step passage created by escaped slaves and abolitionists, including sympathizers in the South. So it wasn't actually a railroad, or even under the ground, for the most part.It is called "underground" in the same sense as the French Underground of World War II, a secret group within an oppressive society. The term "railroad" is used because, much like trains travelling from station to station, the slaves were moved north over a few days or weeks, usually at night. Anti-slavery sympathizers allowed the use of their houses and farms to feed, clothe, and hide the escapees.

Who invaded the underground railrode?

The Nazi Gestapo was constantly on the alert for underground resistors. The resistance network ran The Comete Line and another underground railroad to help downed pilots and Jews escape European countries. The Gestapo never let up on searching for the people who were trying to escape the "underground railroad". They did not really "invade" the underground railroad but rather arrested and often imprisoned the evaders/escapees or killed them outright.

What did they have to do in the underground railroad?

The "underground railroad" was neither a railroad, nor was it underground. In the same sense of the French Underground in World War II, the Underground Railroad was a secret group, composed of anti-slavery sympathizers in the North and South before the US Civil War. The group helped escaped slaves to reach freedom and safety, usually in non-slavery states of the North. At that time, slave owners would often pursue slaves who fled North, and the "railroad" frequently provided new identities to protect slaves from organized slave hunters. Beginning in the areas where the slaves escaped, farmers or townspeople would provide food, new clothing, and hiding places for the slaves. Then , usually at night, they would be moved to safe locations farther north, or to ships on the coast. So it commonly took several days to weeks for slaves to complete their journey. Once in the North, they would be provided homes, jobs, and often new names.
