A plethora of transportation inventions have allowed people to develop industries as their product spread to a larger consumer base — from the first steam locomotive in the 1700s to the engines being more affordable for the general population in 1908 with the Ford Model-T. It could take weeks to get to new areas, so making modes of transportation faster and more efficiently was the goal. The invention of the turbocharger fit that bill. Railroads are used for a variety of applications that include freight and passengers for both long and short hauls.
