3.  As you know trains are the most dependable form of transportation we know today.  The reason why I chose this topic was to do farther investigate on the history of trains and my four guiding questions in which will be displayed through my “Fun Fact” in this presentation

4.  My Guiding Questions  How did this technology improve throughout the years?  How do the transit organization look towards improving this technology?  How dose it works?  How does it effect the environment?

5. Roads of rails called Wagon ways were being used in Germany as early as 1550 consisted of: Wooden rails over which horse – drawn or carts moved with greater ease over dirt roads. KEY EVENT #1

6. Check out the “Fun Facts” One of my guiding question is, “How did this technology improve throughout the years?” My answer to that is, “ the technology of train has improved by going horse driven to Steam engine to diesel then later electric

7. Key Event #2  By 1776, iron was replace with wood (Still horse driven).  In 1789, Englishman, William Jessup designed first wagon flanged wheels.  This design carry over to steam engine trains

8.  My next Guiding Question is, “How dose Train technology work”?  My answer to that question is, “For many year trains were horse driven, but as the invention improve, train technology became more complex

9.   In 1803, a great inventor named George Stephenson created a steam powered train vehicle, in which was a huge impact on modern technology.  This technology was ran by coal in which produced steam Key Event #3

10. Check out the “Fun Fact”  Another one of my guiding question is, “How does train technology effect the environment ?”  In the early development of train technology it pollutes the air and deprives wild animals of their natural habitat  Environmental issue today would be the use of natural resources.

11. * In 1825, the Stockton & Darlington Railroad Company began as the first railroad to carry * Passenger * Goods * Based off the locomotive design

12. Check out the “Fun Fact”  My final guiding question is “How do they look towards improving train technology in the future”?  My answer to that is, The train technology of today is supreme compare to the old days, but for the only way to improve is to expand

13.  Around 1890, the diesel engine was patent by Rudolf Diesel  Trains in this point in era could hold more goods and passenger also traveling farther Key Event #5

14. CONCLUSION  As time goes forward the technology of trains improve, going to electric powered train and also looking for new and improved ideas.  During this presentation, I hope you understand more about train history and its developments  THIS TRAIN HAS LEFT THE STATION!!!
