Forgotten railways of Dorset
BRITAIN was the first country in the world to have a modern railway - with iron tracks and a steam locomotive. The kingdom thrived during the 1800s as a result of the industrial revolution with the first steam railway locomotive being introduced by Richard Trevithick in 1804. Since then there has been a lot of development in the rail industry most astonishingly switching from coal powered locomotives to diesel and now making the switch to electric lines. As a result of modernisation old railway lines and stations have become abandoned and lacked purpose in the modern world.
