It depends on what you're definition of railway is. There were roads similar in design to railroads as early as the mid 1500s, but these were really wagons pulled by horses. The first steam-powered train traveled between two points in Wales (part of the United Kingdom) on February 22, 1804. If you want to know more, just check out the link.

The earliest railways used dates back to around 400 BC called as the rut ways. The most significant early example being the Greek rut way, the Diolkos of Corinth, recorded as in use to transport shipping overland on 8 occasions between 428BC and 30BC. In modern times they were constructed as wagon ways in Europe. These were wooden railways.for more info please check the link below.
