Railways predate the invention of the steam engine, they were horse drawn in mines & the like. Stockton & Darlington is the first railaway in UK 1825 I thinks. Swindon, between Bristol & London on the Great Western Railway, ranks alongside Crewe & Doncaster & York as a major railway centre. 1840 is the dates of the line fron Paddington to Swindon & on to Cheltenham & Gloucester & subsequently to Bristol (1841)
