Wikipedia notes that "the automotive industry began in the 1860s, with hundreds of manufacturers pioneering the horseless carriage," a reminder that transport networks and the companies behind them often trace back to a specific, recorded founding date. Browsing by founded year places a network in the order it actually entered service.
