When was the first train in the world invented?

When was the worlds first train invented?

Okay, so like, when was the first train invented?

Hmm, lemme think. If you ask me, it was around 1804. Yeah, 1804! Crazy, right?

Richard Trevithick, yeah, that's the guy! He built the Penydarren – or Pen-y-Darren? Spelling's hard. It was like, the first steam locomotive railway.

I remember reading about it! It hauled iron from Merthyr Tydfil to Abercynon in Wales, ya know? Wales! Pretty neat.

Ten tons of iron! Can you even imagine? That's a lot of iron. Back then, I bet that was revolutionary. Reminds me of when I saw that massive truck at a quarry near my uncle's place in upstate New York, prob cost like $300,000.

It's weird to think about how something that seems so normal now, a train, was once totally groundbreaking. Like, someone actually invented that!
