Today's fact from me is about trains and locomotives. I am unsure where the topic came from but it is certainly the topic I plan to discuss today. Despite electric vehicles only becoming mainstream within the 21st century, did you know that the first electrically powered locomotive was created in 1837 by a human man named Robert Davidson. This locomotive could only reach a maximum speed of four miles per hour (6 km/h)! The first electrically powered *train*, however, was created in 1879 by Ernst Werner Siemens. This vehicle would go on to become Earth's first electric trams. :)
