> Steam powered railways were only widely deployed from the 1830's

Sure but GP didn't specify steam powered / iron-railed / commercial usage / whatever kind of railways in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36184243.

GP suggested that "ballast hasn't been used on railway tracks for centuries" (incorrect) because "railways haven't even existed for 2 centuries" (incorrect).
