Although the idea of wooden-railed wagonways originated in Germany in the 16th century‚ the first use of steam locomotives was in Britain. Its earliest "railways" were straight and were constructed from parallel rails of timber on which ran horse-drawn carts. This development was all due to steam engines. They were one of the many innovations of the Industrial Revolution and allowed boats and trains to run on steam. A major component of the steam engine was coal. Coal was used to create the steam

Intermodal and Rail Freight in the United States Railroads historically have been the most ecologically sound way to move freight from one place to many other places where rail is available. When diesels are compared to rail‚ the rail has become more cost-effective than transporting using the interstate system by depressing emissions and decreasing pollution. The Predetermined Rail System The beginning of the rail system didn’t actually start from the rail system as we know it from the 1800’s

Antiknock agent An antiknock agent is a gasoline additive used to reduce engine knocking and increase the fuel’s octane rating by raising the temperature and pressure at which ignition occurs. The mixture known as gasoline‚ when used in high compression internal combustion engines‚ has a tendency to ignite early before the correctly timed spark occurs (pre-ignition ordetonation) causing a damaging "engine knocking" (also called "pinging" or "pinking") noise.
