History
Early Years
The history of rail transport in the Myrian continent traces its origins all the way back to the early 18th and 19th centuries. During this the most common mode of transportation between cities and nations were in the form of wagonways, the use of horses to haul wagons filled with either goods or passengers. These Wagonways travelled on designated tracks, the predecessor of a modern train track. As the years went on, passenger and freight demand continued to increase, posing logistical challenges to the usage of horse-drawn wagonways. While cheap and readily available, the use of horses was not scalable in the long run. As passenger & freight demand increases one must either increase the number of horses that haul the ever growing number of wagons, or increase the frequency of the wagonways departure times. It was around the 1800s that the first steam powered locomotives were first invented, a byproduct of the industrial revolution. While revolutionary organizations were slow to adopt them as they lacked the necessary power to haul passengers & freight on a commercial scale. These early locomotives were used mainly as technology demonstrations, the government held exhibitions where inventors & innovators unveiled the latest steam locomotives showing to the public and commercial entities its capabilities. In 1838 the first proper train tracks were laid down, connecting Fanrong and its neighboring cities. This marked the first commercialization of trains in the Myrian continent.
Continental Rail Era
As the years went, the development of more sophisticated and capable steam locomotives the usage of trains as a mode of passenger & freight transport became more commonly found.
