Great Steam Trains: 1. Britain's First Railways - Tom Farris

Fedrwch chi ddychmygu? Cario glo mewn bagiau mawrion wedi'u clymu ar geffylau ar hyd traciau tolciog o byllau i longau. Dull arall oedd cario'r glo ar wageni ar hyd tramiau a gai eu tynnu'n araf gan geffyl. Roedd y ddau ddull yn araf. Ond pam defnyddio llongau? Dyma'r unig ffordd o gario'r glo i'r ffatrïoedd mawrion oedd yn paratoi haearn a dur, ac roedden nhw'n defnyddio swm enfawr o lo.

English Description: Can you imagine it? Carrying coal on bumpy tracks from mines to ships in big bags strapped to ponies. Try another way. In little 'waggons' running on 'tramways' pulled just as slowly by a single pony. It was all too slow. Why ships though? These were the only way to carry it to the big factories that were making iron and steel. These used vast amounts of coal.
