The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, revolutionized the cotton industry by greatly increasing the efficiency of cotton processing, which in turn fueled the expansion of slavery in the South.

To take a look as to whether to use 'There are' or 'There is' we need to look at the subject, ignoring the adjectives and adverbs. In this case 'trains'. We'll cut out everything else and look at the simplest form of that sentence - "There ____ trains". Trains is plural so we would use are. We can then add 'are' into the original sentence to get 'There are not many steam-powered trains still running'. Your answer is A.
