The pioneers of railroad work in
America became the basis for a great surge of railroad building halfway through
the nineteenth century that linked the nation together as never before.
Railroads eventually became the nation’s number one transportation system, and
remained so until the construction of the interstate highway system halfway
through the twentieth century. They were really important in stimulating
economic expansion and their influence reached
beyond the economy.
By 1804, English as well as
American inventors had experimented with steam engines for moving land
vehicles. In 1920, John Stevens ran a locomotive and cars around in a circular
track on his New Jersey estate, which the public saw as an amusing toy. And in
1825, after opening a short length of track, the Stockton to Darlington
Railroad in England became the first line to carry general traffic. The first
company in America to begin actual operations was the Baltimore and Ohio, which
opened a thirteen- mile length of track in 1830. It used a team of horses to
pull a train of passenger carriages and freight wagons along the track.
However, for the first decade or
more, there was not yet a true railroad system. Even the longest of the lines
was relatively short in the 1830’s, and most of them served simply to connect
water routes to each other, not to link one railroad to another. Even when two
lines did connect, the tracks often differed in width, so cars from one line
couldn’t fit onto tracks of the next line. Schedules were unreliable and
wrecks were frequent. Significantly, however, some important developments
during the 1830’s and 1840’s included the introduction of heavier iron rails,
more flexible and powerful locomotives, and passenger cars were redesigned to
become more stable, comfortable, and larger. By the end of 1830 only 23
miles of track had been laid in the country. But by 1936, more than 1,000 miles
of track had been laid in eleven States, and within the decade, almost 3,000
miles had been constructed. By that early age, the United States had already surpassed
Great Britain in railroad construction, and particularly from the mid-1860’s,
the late nineteenth century belonged to the railroads.

Though they were not trained
naturalists, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in their explorations of North
America in the early nineteenth century came across enough unfamiliar birds,
mammals, and reptiles to fill a zoo. In keeping with President Jefferson’s
orders, they took careful note of 122 species and subspecies that were unknown
to science and in many cases native only to the West. Clark made sketches of
any particularly intriguing creature. He and Lewis also collected animal
hides and horns and bird skins with such care that a few of them were still
intact nearly two centuries later. While Lewis and Clark failed to meet the
mythological monster reputed to dwell in the West, they did unearth
the bones of a 45-foot dinosaur. Furthermore, some of the living beasts they
did come upon, such as the wooly mountain goat and the grizzly bear, were every
bit as odd or as fearsome as any myth. In their collector’s enthusiasm,
they even floated a prairie dog out of its burrow by pouring in five barrelfuls
of water, then shipped the frisky animal to Jefferson alive and yelping.
