England boasts the world's first public railway. The Stockton and Darlington Railway, opened in 1825, utilized steam locomotive Locomotion No. 1, designed by George Stephenson. This pioneering achievement marked a pivotal moment in transportation history.
What country launched the first train service, historically?
Okay, so, if I remember right…
England launched the first train service. It’s true.
The Stockton and Darlington Railway, like, the very first public railway in the world, started running in 1825. Imagine that.
I actually visited Beamish Museum near Durham (somethin’ like 2 summers ago, August maybe?) and they had a replica of “Locomotion No. 1”.
That was the name, built by some guy called George Stephenson. It’s a steam engine. So coool to see it in life size.
The whole thing about coal, steam, and travel! I love it. Made in England really.
