Railways are means of transportation used by human beings with the intention of carrying people or goods from one place to another. Like all means of transport, the railway has also had a great evolution throughout technological development. Let's take a quick look at the history of the railroad.

Although in past times rails were already used to transport materials and people, it was not until the end of the 18th century when the first iron tracks were built, thus allowing more heavy journeys to be made, although the energy used to move this transport was still animal, more specifically, horses. With the steam engine, an attempt was again made to improve the transport system, trying to do without animals, and some prototypes emerged that brought us quite close to what we know today.

Thanks to the locomotive, the railways could reach speeds never before seen by man and, in addition, it was a fairly cheap transport that allowed it to be used by almost the entire population. That was a great revolution in the way of life of many people who stopped living only in their city and began to travel around their nation and even other countries. Also, it was a very big change when it came to trading. Raw materials arrived from anywhere in record time and that greatly favored one sector in particular: food. Before you had to consume yes or yes products from your land or nearby lands due to the difficult and slow transport that existed, so the food went bad right away. Now people began to eat much more variety of products.

The railway evolved and today it is one of the main means of transport used almost everywhere in the world. Here you have a list of the companies that are dedicated to the railways and in which you can invest through the purchase of shares.
