In the 1880’s, trains were the most known transportation in New York City. The first type of trains were horse drawn carts. Another name for it is horsecars. Horse cars are operated by a horse pulling a cart on a railroad. This invention however backfired. The horses were too slow and could give bad disease. So the next idea were elevated trains, known as “el.” The els were a cable powered car that used rail to move. This invention was a success, we even still use them today. The latest train was a subway in the 1900s. A subway was a underground train powered by electricity. It was a common thing back then and still common today.
