This dimension groups transport networks by the year in which they were founded. 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.
