Early railroad development took place in England, initially to carry coal but soon afterwards for the transport of livestock and passengers. It was not long before the railroad appeared in a number of continental European nations, and this expansion of the concept was echoed on the western side of the Atlantic Ocean by the appearance of local lines on the eastern seaboard of the USA. This was only the start of the process, and soon railraods were to be found in most parts of the urbanised and industrialised world as the cost efficiency advantages of the mass transport of people, goods and raw materials became evident.
