What is the worlds oldest train line/railway? History & Location
Okay, so the oldest railway still kickin' is the Middleton Railway in Leeds, England. Founded way back in 1758. Whoa, right?
It's not just an old line, though. It's a "heritage railway," which is a fancy way of saying volunteers keep it runnin'. I kinda want to visit now. Maybe next summer?
Imagine, trains that have been puffin' along since before the USA existed. Crazy. It's like, history in motion.
I gotta admit, I totally thought some Roman road or somthin' would win that title. Learned somthin' new! Think I'll stick to trains over Roman roads though.
