说到火车，大家一定不会陌生。作为人类最早出现的现代交通工具之一，火车改变了人们的出行方式，让旅途更加快捷。

关于火车，有许多有意思的故事，比如火车名字的由来。1804年，由英国的矿山技师德里维斯克利用瓦特的蒸汽机造出了世界上第一台蒸汽机车，时速为5至6公里。因为当时使用煤炭或木柴做燃料，所以人们都叫它“火车”

随着科技的进步，由蒸汽机车到内燃机车、电力机车，再到今天时速300公里以上的高铁，动力的改良让火车的速度越来越快。虽然蒸汽机车早已成为历史，但“火车”的名字一直沿用至今。

除了有趣的故事，火车还经常出现在电影及动画作品中。《哈利波特》中的霍格沃茨特快列车——一辆鲜红的蒸汽机车，是通往魔法学校的直通快车。

车头正中一块标志鲜明地写着 “霍格沃茨特快列车，十一点正发车”，每一列车厢全是包厢，车上买的点心收的是魔法钞票，到站后可以将行李留在车厢内，会有专人将各位的行李分批送往学校。
