Wagonway

(重定向自Wagonways)
Benjamin Outram's Little Eaton Gangway in July 1908 with the last train of loaded coal wagons arriving.
Cart from 16th century, found in Transylvania
Recreated track section for original railway in England (circa 1803) as built by Richard Trevithick. The track was originally used for horse-drawn carriages. It has the flanges on the track rather than the wheels, so that it is a flangeway rather than an edgeway.
Cast iron fishbelly edge rail manufactured by Outram at the Butterley Company ironworks for the Cromford and High Peak Railway (1831). These are smooth edgerails for wheels with flanges.

Wagonways (or Waggonways) consisted of the horses, equipment and tracks used for hauling wagons, which preceded steam-powered railways. The terms "plateway", "tramway" and in some places, "dramway" are also found. The advantage of using wagonways was that far bigger loads could be transported with the same power.
