Question: Which did construction start on first, the Delaware and Raritan Canal or the Pennsylvania Canal?
Sentence (from "Pennsylvania Canal"): It should be understood the "first use of any railway" in North America was the year 1826, so the newspapers and the Pennsylvania Assembly of 1824 applied the term then to the proposed Right of ways mainly for the canals of the Main Line of Public Works to be built across the southern part of Pennsylvania.
Relevant evidence: No
