Based on the Wikipedia entry, after James Watt invented the steam engine in 1769, Nicolas Cugnot at the same time making three-wheelers fueled steam. People call it the iron horse vehicle. Then in 1804, Richard Trevithick made locomotive engine coupled with the train and use it on a show in front of the general public. George Stephenson, who won the race perfect racing locomotive and locomotive used in track Liverpool-Manchester, UK
At that time steam locomotive that used constructed grasshopper. Completion for the improvements done to get a more effective steam locomotives, large power, and is able to train a lot more interesting.
The discovery of electricity by Michael Faraday made some discoveries that followed the discovery of electrical appliances electric motors. The electric motor is then used to make electric tram which is the forerunner of an electric train. Later in 1892, Rudolf Diesel diesel trains bring a more powerful and more efficient than the steam locomotive.
Along with the development of electrical and magnetic technology is more advanced, they invented magnetic trains that have speeds above the speed of regular trains. Japan in the 1960s operate KA Super Ekspress Shinkanzen Tokyo-Osaka route that eventually developed further so as to reach almost all of Japan. French then operate trains similar to the TGV name.
Some Railway
There are several types of rail or rail. For example, a monorail train (single track railway) is a railway track as a train line that is not usually found. The railway consists of only one iron rod. Train layout is designed to hang on the rail or on the tracks. Because efficient, typically used as a means of urban transport, especially in metropolitan cities of the world and is designed much like the overpass.
Then the rail surface (surface) train that runs above ground. Generally the common rail is the type of train. Construction costs for surface rail is the cheapest compared to the underground or elevated. In Indonesia, the train or the most frequently found.
Railroad overpass goes over with the help of poles, this is to avoid crossing a plot, so as not to require a railroad crossing. Costs incurred approximately three (3) times the surface of the train.
Subway is a train that runs beneath the surface of the ground (subway). This type of train is built by building tunnels under the ground as the railway line. Commonly used in big cities like New York, Tokyo, Paris, Seoul and Moscow. Also used on a smaller scale in the mining area.
