Trains were a revolutionary innovation and symbolized the Industrial Revolution. They began as Wagonways in 1500s used by originally the Greeks for mining. They were operated through animal or human. They had many recognizable flaws such as the efficiency of equipment, durability, and size. Many innovators began expanding on this idea of transportation such as James Clifford and Cardinal Matthäus Lang. These men used this idea to help aid their work and make it more efficient through transportation of goods. Through their field, they renovated the idea and fixed the faults that were recognized by society. Eventually, the original wagon idea spread to places around the world such as Belgium and England. This was only the start of this mode of transportation and many new citizens saw this as brilliant idea. The Wagonway was clearly historic invention, but only was the beginning to something even superior. Once the wagonway had been introduced, innovators discovered new ways to increase the efficiency of this transportation. It began with the invention of the rail by the Coalbrookdale company in the early 1760’s. It faced many problems originally such as durability and insufficient material, but …show more content…
This idea was quite basic and had many faults, which were soon recognized. In 1814, George Stephenson, inspired by the early locomotives of Trevithick, built a steam-powered machine. He built the Blücher, one of the first successful locomotives. His invention played a pivotal role in the development and widespread adoption of the steam locomotive. He helped re-build and improve the work of previous innovators. This idea of the locomotives spread instantly around the globe and countries began opening up railroads for these machines to travel on. This invention gained massive support and wouldn't be possible without the renovations and hard work of these early
