Railroads have been around since the early 19th century, with the first successful steam locomotive, George Stephenson's Locomotion No. 1, being built in 1825. However, the concept of rail transport dates back to ancient times, with wooden and metal tracks used for horse-drawn carts. The modern railroad system, particularly in the United States and Europe, expanded rapidly during the Industrial Revolution, significantly shaping transportation and commerce. Therefore, railroads in their modern form have been in existence for nearly 200 years.
