On 27 September 2025, it will be 200 years since the first train ran on England's Stockton and Darlington Railway.

This railway commercialised the mode beyond just horses carting a coal wagon or two.

Many celebrations are occurring in the UK.

The 'Railway 200' website has details and links.

A YouTube podcast called Green Signals has just featured Rail 200.
