Richard Fulton with "Fulton's Folly"
Passenger trains are usually faster than freight trains.
You build train tracks (rail) and stations and if you positioned them correctly (where your sims want them) you will get trains. The trains are steam, freight, and passenger(steam and freight need freight station and passenger needs passenger station)
James Watt patented an improved steam engine in 1790 and the idea of using it to power boats almost immediately. In 1787, John Fitch demonstrated a 45 foot steamboat on the Delaware River. He later built a larger steamboat that carried passengers and freight. He received a patent for his invention in 1791.
Yes, Amtrak does haul freight, but it primarily operates as a passenger rail service. While Amtrak's primary focus is on transporting passengers, it occasionally allows freight to be carried on its lines, particularly when it does not interfere with passenger services. However, the bulk of freight transportation in the U.S. is handled by dedicated freight rail companies.

Let the distance be ( d ) kilometers. The time taken by the passenger train is ( \frac{d}{96} ) hours, and for the freight train, it is ( \frac{d}{64} ) hours. According to the problem, the passenger train takes 2 hours less than the freight train, leading to the equation ( \frac{d}{64} - \frac{d}{96} = 2 ). Solving this equation gives ( d = 384 ) kilometers.
Diesel trains are used for freight and sometimes they're used for passenger trains.

The steam locomotive significantly improved the transcontinental transportation of people and goods. By enabling faster and more efficient travel over land, it connected distant regions and facilitated the movement of freight across vast distances. This innovation played a crucial role in the expansion of industries and the economy during the 19th century, ultimately shaping modern transportation networks.
Passenger train speed + 50 mph Freight train speed = 34mph V(passenger) = V(freight) + 16mph Vp x Time = 250mi. Vf x Time = 170mi. therefore... a. [Vf + 16] x T = 250 b. Vf x T = 170 Subtract b. from a. 16T = 80 Time = 5 hours Vp = 250/5 = 50 mph Vf = 170/5 = 34 mph
It is a train that carries passengers (people). The opposite is a freight train or goods train, which carries goods.
