The train plays an important role in the continuous development of human society. It is the crystallization of human wisdom and sweat.

The first train in human history was born in 1804. It was a British mine technician named Dervisk, who used Watt's steam engine to create a steam locomotive. This single-cylinder steam engine was able to pull five cars. Its speed was 5 to 6 kilometers. This locomotive does not have a cab. When the locomotive is in motion, the driver walks alongside the car. Because people used coal or firewood for fuel at that time, people called it a “train” and used it so far.

The early trains were powered by coal-fired steam and therefore had a major drawback: they had to install coal and water facilities along the railway lines, and they also spent a lot of time adding coal and water to the locomotives. These are not economical. In the late 19th century, many scientists turned to the study of electricity and coal-fired steam locomotives. Electric locomotives In 1879, the German Siemens Electric Company developed the first electric locomotive weighing approximately 954 kilograms. It performed only one performance at a trade fair in Berlin. On October 27, 1903, the first utility electric locomotive developed by Siemens and General Electric was put into use. Its speed reaches 200 kilometers per hour.

In the following decades, countries are studying trains that are cheap and easy to promote. By 1941, Switzerland had successfully developed a new type of fuel gas turbine locomotive powered by diesel. The structure is simple, the vibration is small, and the running performance is good. Therefore, it is widely used in industrial countries.

Since the 1960s, all countries have vigorously developed high-speed trains, such as high-speed trains from Paris to Lyon in France, reaching 260 kilometers per hour; this also reached 200 kilometers or more when high-speed trains from Tokyo to Osaka in Japan. People are still not satisfied with such high-speed trains. France, Japan and other countries took the lead in developing maglev trains. China has also built the world's first commercial maglev train in Shanghai, from the Longyang Road Station to the Pudong Airport. The train is suspended above the track and can reach speeds of 400-500 kilometers per hour.

Today, train railroads are spread all over the country. While the speed of the train continues to increase, people's requirements for the internal facilities of the train are also increasing. In the modern era of social science and technology development, people are no longer satisfied with the conditions and facilities such as soft seats and soft sleepers, and instead pursue a comfortable ride environment. With the emergence of "bullet head" trains, the internal environment of the train reached a new height. The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail business car with VIP seats that is being trial run recently has its own facilities that are pleasing to the eye.
