A railroad is a method of transport in which
trains convey passengers and goods along a
twin rail track (at first made of wood but
later of iron or steel with ties wedging
them apart and relatively parallel).
Following the work of English steam pioneers
such as James Watt, George Stephenson built
the first public steam railroad, from
Stockton to Darlington, 1825.
