text_original: There are three parts to a railroad: the locomotive, the cars, and the track on which these run. The first rail  ways were tramways, used to haul coal from the mines to the wharves, where it was loaded on boats to be carried to distant cities. Such tramways were often ten to a dozen miles long.
