The first railroads, called wagonways, were also horse-powered. Wagons took coal, stone, or ore from mines to navigable rivers or canals by gravity. The horses returned the empty wagons back uphill. Horses also sometimes hauled the heavy cargo across level ground or rises.pic.twitter.com/UUKyX9NCzM
