Поезд - история поездов берет свое начало от создания первого
паровоза английским изобретателем Травником в 1804 году. В России
история поездов с локомотивной тягой начинается в 1834 году с
выпуском первого паровоза Черепановых. Так же история поездов
неразрывно связана с историей локомотивов, железных дорог, от
применения для транспортировки угля с шахт до проникновения во все
сферы транспорта: пассажирские перевозки, почтовые, грузовые, и
просто развлечения.
