Swansea Museums' Tram Shed, , Wales UK. All that's left of the worlds first passenger railway, the Swansea & Mumbles Train.
Somewhat ironically, considering it's untimely end, the Swansea Railway, better known as the Mumbles Train, has evolved as an iconic symbol of Swansea's progress through the years. It was the first fare paying passenger railway in the world and between 1804 and 1960 saw 3 separate forms of transport; horse drawn, steam and finally electric power as well as an apparent early attempt at wind power by (presumably) attaching sails to the carriages.
