TF1R FIRST STEAM LCtx1aZsSxiN8s

In 1880 the first successful trip BY q
steam locomotive in America was made
by the engine of Peter Cooper.
It was diminutive affair. and required
81 minutes to 60 Is miles. Its boiler was
not as big as that of modern kitchen
range. :,
In 1881. seventy two miles of railroad
had been built. Each year saw few
more miles of track laid.
The gold rush westward in '49 resulted
in a sudden jump in expansion-l'369
miles being constructed that year.
More track was laid in 1887 than in
any other year of the country's history.
A total of IL, 1873 miles was completed.
Since 1907 the annual expansion has
been dwindling.
The United States, however. has over
275.OOO miles of railroads.&c. 900 miles
more than all the nations of Europe put
together.
Today our property investment in rail-
roads is approximately nineteen billion
dollars-and we need millions more fof
repair, expansion, and new rolling stock
in order to cope with our tremendous
transportation problem.
