Railways:-
In the year 1550 in Germany railways existed. These tracks or pathways are of wood called “wagon ways”. It was the beginning of modern rail transport. In 1700 iron replaced wooden tracks and became popular in Europe.
After that steam-powered locomotives came into existence and were slowly replaced by diesel-powered locomotives beginning in the early 1900s and later with electric ones. By the year 1980s, most steam-powered locomotives were retired from regular service routes and a new era begin with diesel and electric engines.
Now, Railway is one of the biggest transporters of goods and carry a passenger from one place to another.
Also, roadways and railways both together make Land Transportation.
