Trains in Milan

When looking around the different parts of the museum, the train exhibit stood out by having a display on a horse tram. It was about how horses in the 1860s were being apart of the transportation system. They would travel 16 km in about two hours, and while being the horses would walk the cart would be connected on rails to make the ride more smooth for the passengers. It was interesting how horses were intergrated in the train transportation history for Milan.
