The document provides a brief history of train travel, starting with the first train in India in 1853 from Bombay to Thane, and discusses some early engineering feats like the Darjeeling loop constructed in 1880. It then discusses the opening of the London Underground in 1863 as the world's first underground railway system, and the opening of the Buenos Aires metro in 1913 as the oldest in Latin America. Finally, it mentions that the future of travel will involve riding trains in Bengaluru with a clean conscience.

1. A brief history of train travel…
And glimpse of future.

6. The London Underground,
which opened in 1863, was
the world’s first
underground railway
system. More than 30,000
passengers tried out the
Tube on the opening day
and it was hailed by the
Times as “the great
engineering triumph of the
day”. Pictured - William
