- W618304232 abstract "This article gives a general outline of the history of the railroad in the U.S. in terms of various factors including culture, technology, economy, and politics. Significant dates in railroad history are identified. The first locomotive-type vehicle discussed here is Colonel John Stevens’ steam wagon from 1925, which used a short loop with propulsion from a cog rail. The first full-scale railway was the horse-drawn Bunker Hill Railway of 1827. Briefly discussed also is Peter Cooper’s “Tom Thumb” locomotive in its race against a horse, in which the horse ostensibly won. Telegraphic technology is also described in relation to the railroad industry of the nineteenth century, as it allowed for increased safety and rail loads through communication between railroad depots. The article also describes the connecting of the transcontinental railway in 1869 up to the extent to which railroad technology was used in the late twentieth century." @default.
