Answer 13

By 1776, iron had replaced the wood in the rails and wheels on the carts. Wagonways evolved into Tramways and spread though out Europe. Horses still provided all the pulling power. In 1789, Englishman, William Jessup designed the first wagons with flanged wheels. The flange was a groove that allowed the wheels to better grip the rail, this was an important design that carried over to later locomotives.

Answer 14

Not sure that the dates are right, but if its looking for the first material that railroads were made out of when horses pulled the cars, wood would be right.
