One day there were 5 teenagers, 2 girls and 3 boys, roaming around a railroad . There names were, Selena, Jacy, Chewy (that’s just a nickname) Ramon, and Zack. They didn't know this wasn’t just an ordinary railroad . It was a haunted railroad. They decided they would come back when it gets dark so they wouldn’t get caught. Because if they got caught they would be in trouble, cause this railroad was off limits When they were getting in there car and a person walked up to there car. His name was LongJohn

The railway industry has been a major player in the transportation industry since the 1850s. During the 1870s the industry experienced a lot of consolidation as companies made acquisitions in an attempt to lower costs. Fast forward to the 1940s, trucking became a much cheaper alternative to railways and the industry started seeing declining profits. Many companies tried to mitigate the declining profits by closing unprofitable routes, merge with other railroads, and lower costs. However, these efforts

Activities: Impact of the Railways - Give reasons for all your answers! Look at Source B 1. What effect did the railways have on the cost of transporting goods? Railways meant that goods were able to be transported faster at a much cheaper rate which then lead to goods being sold for less so more people in turn could afford them. 2. How did railways help to create more jobs? Railways helped create more jobs by making good cheaper, which meant more people could buy these goods so more goods were

Railway Labor Act and Impact on Modern Day Airlines For decades, the railroad industry was in a period of great economic political, and industrial changes in the United States. The industrial boom was taking its toll on the United States, and the widespread violent work stoppages were detrimental to the railroad industry due to tensions escalating between unions and workers. President Calvin Coolidge was strongly vocal about the issue and urged railroads and unions to recommend legislation to improve

the next power source and proved to be much more ideal. After the successful production of the steam engine the race was on to the productivity of locomotives to their full potential. Technology changed rapidly and companies were constantly changing the types of locomotives they used. In the early 20th century, the creation of diesel powered locomotives eventually replaced the steam engine. Recent changes involve the types of

the steam locomotives making society more urban and industrial, it opened the door for many factories, mills which created many job openings for the middle class. You could run a factory anywhere you chose to build. No longer having to work on farms from sunrise to sunset, people moved to the cities to work in these factories, working on an hourly wage on a set time. Compared to the farm, they worked less and enjoyed a better standard of living. With the improvements of the steam locomotives, the distribution

The role of the railroads shifted over time. Eight months after the United States entered the First World War in 1918, President Woodrow Wilson called for the country’s railroads to be nationalized to mean the demands of the war. He did so under the Federal Possession and Control Act. As part of this process, he also decided to have new steam engines and cars designed to boost the abilities of the rail industry. He also arranged for the Railroad Control Act which took place in 1920. This act stated

Railroad Consolidation and Mechanization Cornelius Vanderbilt changed up New York Central’s rail lines from iron to sturdier and more reliable steel (consolidated most of the rail lines) Steel rails, Westinghouse air brake, standard gauge were all inventions that helped railroads (Telegraph, double-tracking, block signal helped also) Pullman Cars- Were luxurious trains in which the usually rich travelers would stay (aesthetic) Revolution by Railways The railroads economically and politically bonded
