Trains are the most commonly used means of transportation now. Because of its existence, people's travel has become very convenient and relaxed. So who invented the train and when? Do you know that?/You know what? Let's have a look.
First, the world's first train, steam locomotive.
Now the train we are riding has experienced numerous changes and developments. As we all know, at the earliest time, trains were steam engines. 1804, British engineering teacher Livingsley created the world's 1 train. It uses wood and coal as fuel, hence its name? Train? And this name has been used until now.
Second, the development of trains.
At the beginning, the train was powered by steam, but the cost of this operation was relatively high, so with the arrival of the electric power era, the development of the train also ushered in a brand-new era. The first electric train was invented by Siemens in Germany, but the electric drive also had some defects. Later, the slow train developed into internal combustion engine power, that is, gasoline train, but because the cost of gasoline is also high, it developed into diesel.
Third, the arrival of modern new trains.
With the development of the times, after a long period of time, the train technology has gradually matured and its application scope has become more and more extensive. Because of the existence of trains, people's travel has become very convenient, and they no longer choose to ride horses or use livestock as power, that is, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts and other modes of travel. Now the train has entered a brand-new era, not only the speed has been greatly improved, but also the comfort is very good. In the future, trains will continue to evolve and enter a faster stage. For example, the speed of maglev train is very fast now.
