On May 9, 1904, the City of Truro, a steam locomotive built by the Great Western Railway in the UK, became the first European train to exceed 100 miles per hour (160 km/h). This record-breaking run happened while hauling a mail train through Somerset, England. At a time when automobiles were barely faster than bicycles, this speed shattered expectations and helped redefine what modern travel could look like. The event marked a key milestone in the evolution of high-speed rail, foreshadowing the 20th century's transportation revolutions.
