Railways were conceived as part of the 1st industrial revolution, as steam & water power started to transform the way society at the time manufactured, interacted and consumed. Following this
the other industrial revolutions have followed – mass production using electric power, which also included the rapid development of the railways and digital automation. The next revolution often
referred to as Big Data, or Internet of Things (IoT), is now well on the way.
