Railroad History

The same year the US ordered the Stourbridge Lion locomotive from England, they began
work building the first tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railway. As the Stourbridge made its
first trips, other railways, like the Hudson and Delaware track were being constructed,
preparing for a new locomotive to run their tracks. Most tracks were built years before buying
a locomotive, making it easier in the beginning to build tracks for short distances.
Construction of railways was almost always financed by private investors and there were few
people who could afford such an expensive project. The idea of connecting the east and west
coasts with a railway had been debated for several years. In 1863 the construction of the first
transcontinental railroad began. In 1869 this huge 1907 mile long project was complete,
connecting the pacific coast to an existing Iowa railway.

The Future
When people first think of trains, the picture of an old steam-engine huffing and puffing up a
mountain might come into mind. Cars get us everywhere we need to go and for far distances
airplanes fly us quickly across the country and even around the world. Trains might seem a
little old-fashioned, but modern trains are nothing like they use to be 200 years ago. Trains
can go 20-30 times faster than the first steam engine did, like Frances TGV train that can hit
300 miles per hour. That is certainly faster than traveling in a car. Trains have evolved and
grown as convenient subway transportations that many people take every single day. Tracks
have also changed, although the familiar double rail tracks are still woven throughout the
country, there are now single rail tracks that run monorails. Continued future development of

trains is already in motion. The maglev train has been around for several years but recently
has become more popular. Almost like a flying car, it is a levitating train, run with the use of
magnets. Maglev trains are more energy-efficient, pollutant-free, cheaper to run, and quieter.
They would make it easier and faster for people to travel long distances. The major obstacle
is getting it started with a soaring $10 million a mile to construct the magnetic tracks.
Engineers are always working hard to improve transportation while keeping costs low and
protecting the environment.
