OF these passenger conductors on the

Until 1852 there was no railroad
running west of Chicago, all travelling
being done inScoaches At that time I
was running a passenger train on the
Michigan Central Road from Chicago
to Detroit. I have seen as many as

well-known fact that the first rail-
road In America was tramway, built
in 1896 from the Quincy (Mass.) gran

River. It was used to transport blocks
OF granite to build the Bunker Hill
monument; the road was three miles
in length. About 100 feet of that road

The rails used to construct the road
were scantiings laid on granite ties,

cars were hauled by oxen and horses.
On the morning OF Aug. o, 1918, at
the head of Lydius Street. Albany,
N. Y, there stood on a railroad track
a queer-looking engine; behind 1t was
a little tender with two barrels of wa
ter and two strengthening passenger
cars, consisting of the bodies of two
stageeoaches fastened upon railroad
trucks. The little locomotive was built
at the West Point foundry1N and was
taken to Albany by river Boats. It
weighed but four tons. It. with the
two cars was about to make a trial
trip from Albany to Schenectady.
A great crowd was assembled, and II
was nearly time to start the train. Ac-
cordingly everybody was full of inter-
est and curiosity. The locomotive was
the first In this country. 1t was called

The first passenger train in the State

March, 1882, from Philadelphia to Ger

founder of the great locomotive works
that now bears ibis name. On the first
trial OF the Ironsides 1t was discovered
that the drivers were too light to give
adhesion to the rail, SO the builder
and two machinists pushed 1t ahead
until speed enough mad been obtained
when all jumped aboard the engine in
order that their weight might keep the
wheels down. Moreover, the-~boileY
was too small for the engine and steam
could not be generated fast enough to
