such as Angela, for the past few years. Contrary to what many people think, it is also easy enough to pick up. All you
need is a pair of needles and a ball of yarn for your first project. Angela says that you should choose a large needle and
a hefty yarn, so you will be able to get some instant gratification as you watch your scarf grow. The rhythmic click of
needles will help you unwind after a busy week. And for once, you will feel in control of something, from beginning to
end!

Railroad Invention and History
Railroads date back 4,000 years to the ancient Babylonians, who pushed carts along grooves carved in stone. For
thousands of years, miners also used grooves to run trucks pulled by people or horses. The so-called Wagonways were
being used in Germany as early as 1550. These primitive railed roads consisted of wooden rails over which horse-drawn
wagons or carts moved with greater ease than over dirt roads. Wagonways .
By 1776 iron had replaced the wood in the rails and wheels on the carts. As a result, Wagonways evolved into Tramways
and spread throughout Europe. In 1789, Englishman William Jessup designed the first wagons with flanged wheels. The
flange was a groove that allowed the wheels to better grip the rail. This was an important design that carried over to
later locomotives. Horses still provided all the pulling power, but that was about to change.
The invention of the steam engine was critical to the emergence of the modern railroad and trains. In 1803, a man
named Samuel Homfray decided to fund the development of a steam-powered vehicle
. He employed Richard Trevitchick (1771-1833), who built the first
steam engine tramway locomotive. On February 22, 1804 the locomotive hauled a load of 10 tons of iron, 70 men and
five extra wagons the 9 miles between the ironworks at Penydarren in the town of Merthyr Tydfil, Wales to the bottom of
the valley called Abercynnon. It took about two hours.
In 1821, Englishman, Julius Griffiths was the first person to patent a passenger road steam carriage. In September, 1825,
the Stockton & Darlington Railway began as the first railroad to carry both goods and passengers on regular schedules
using locomotives designed by English inventor, George Stephenson.
Stephenson was extremely poor growing up and received little formal education. He worked in local collieries and
. In 1812, he became a colliery engine builder, and in 1814 he built his first
locomotive for the Stockton and Darlington Railway Line. Stephenson was hired as the company engineer and soon
convinced the owners to use steam motive power and built the line's first locomotive, the Locomotion. Stephenson's

George Stephenson of the first steam locomotive engine for railways.
Although Richard Trevitchicks invention is considered the first tramway locomotive, it was designed for a road and not
for a railroad. In 1825, Stephenson moved to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, where together with his son Robert
built (1826-29) the Rocket, a locomotive which ran at 12 miles an hour.
On February 28, 1827, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad became the first U.S. railway chartered for commercial transport of
passengers and freight. There were skeptics who doubted but
the Tom Thumb, the first American-built steam locomotive designed by Peter Cooper, put an end to their doubts.
When the first railroads were built, many people said they were the most wonderful of all inventions. For others, the
snorting, smoking steam engines were like beasts from hell. Trains and railroads certainly changed our world. Not only did
embankments and cuts alter the landscape, but also, for the first time, people could be carried long distances in large
numbers and at undreamed-of speeds. Railroads also allowed cities to grow more than ever before. In addition, the
locomotive could make the investors a lot of money. If Tom Thumb

western trade.
Today, large networks of railroads stretch through many countries. If the tracks of the worlds main rail routes were laid
end to end, they would circle the Earth more than 116 times. Trains are an efficient method of transportation. They use
less fuel and produce less pollution than cars and trucks because they carry large cargoes in a single journey. Because of
the damage road vehicles do to our environment, many people believe trains are the best form of transportation for the
future.
The Pullman Sleeping Car was invented by George Pullman in 1857. Pullman's railroad coach or sleeper was designed for
overnight passenger travel. In fact, sleeping cars were being used on American railroads since 1827. Early sleepers,
however, were not as comfortable as the Pullman Sleeper.
