About the course:
Climb aboard for a thrilling ride through the amazing world of railways: an invention that profoundly changed human life.
Railways are one of the most important inventions in modern history. From the 1825 opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in England, trains revolutionized both travel and trade and radically changed the way we experience the world.
Join us as we explore the impact of railways, from the early 19th century to today’s futuristic trains including railroads during war and for tourism.
