The benefits of the locomotive did not become a reality until an Englishman named Charles Stephenson developed the first

more efficient, cheaper to run, and they can accelerate much faster than their previous predecessors (“Electric Locomotives, The Definition Of Efficiency,” n.d.). Future electric trains will be able to travel faster than ever before, and eventually they will be build all around the United States and other countries to provide extremely fast travel at cheaper costs (“Electric Locomotives, The Definition Of Efficiency,” n.d.). High-speed electric trains today are extremely fast, but they are mostly
