This was a steam railway that really was *mostly* underground; there were gaps in the tunnel roof along the route to permit smoke from the locomotive to escape the tunnel. The first electrified underground railway was the City and South London Railway, which opened in 1890. The first underground railway on the Continent was the "földalatti" in Budapest, which opened in 1896. The first underground railway in the U.S. was the trolley tunnel that opened in Boston in 1897 (the Tremont Street Subway). Rapid transit (subway) trains began using the Tremont Street Subway in 1901.
