THE RAILROAD PROBLEM
Courtesy of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railway.
An interesting illustration of rail-power development. Notice the evolution of the crude steam engine of
1848 into the giant locomotive of 1913, which in turn is overshadowed by the later arrival—electricity.
Courtesy of the C. M. & St. P. Railway.
Steam, the giant power, which, by welding our states together with bands
of steel, has been a mighty factor in the unifying of the nation.
