Cornwall had close connections to William Murdoch and Richard Trevithick, both early pioneers of steam engines. The first above-ground railway to open in Cornwall was the horse-drawn Portreath Tram Road which opened in 1809 (an underground one had been in existence since 1783). Later railways and tramways developed to help move ore from mine workings to ports for transport. The mainline railway arrived in Cornwall in 1859. Kresen Kernow is home to plans for many of these railways, as well as a significant collection of railway photos.
