Product Description
The clickety-clack of the rails and the distant wail of a train whistle in the still night air recalls a romantic and nostalgic period in the history of America. During the more than 100 years when trains were the fastest way to travel from place to place in the United States, Americans fell in love with railroads and the locomotive. Learn about the early inventors of transportation development, and the use of steam and rails in moving freight as well as people.
