	The Book of the Fair : Chapter the Eighteenth: Transportation (Text)
		In structural detail the Transportation building, with its spacious annex, is one of the simplest and most unassuming of all the Exposition edifices, and yet with a richness of decorative forms that relieves it from poverty of design.
		The Transportation building proper was erected on the southwestern bank of the lagoon which surrounds the wooded island forming a portion of the Horticultural grounds.
		In the main facade, separated by the lagoon from the hall of Manufactures [545] and Liberal Arts, is the point of architectural emphasis, "the golden doorway," enclosed by a fretted arch or series of arches resplendent with gilding, and with a chaste embroidery of bas-reliefs and arabesques.

		However, except in the case of the Amazon, river transport is relatively unimportant in Brazil.
		The remaining rail operations are suburban commuter systems connecting in the major cities or specialized railways carrying minerals, timber, or tourists.
		Several sectors of the transport system—including railways, metro systems, highways, ports, and airports—were opened to private investment in the 1990s as part of the government’s privatization program.

		Transportation routes built for commerce developed slowly in eastern Pennsylvania, and it was not until after the American Revolution that some thought was given to open the upper river regions to transportation canals.
		Transport of goods to markets there was critical to the development of the region's economy.
		As a transportation system covering three states in the northeastern United States, the DLandW Railroad management acted in the 1899-1939 period to increase its efficiency in operation through larger equipment and to diversify from its reliance on the transportation of anthracite coal.

		In case it became necessary to reinforce Corinth, by this arrangement all the troops at Bolivar, except a small guard, could be sent by rail by the way of Jackson in less than twenty-four hours; while the troops from Brownsville could march up to Bolivar to take their place.
		Within twenty-four hours from the transmission of the order the troops were at their destination, although there had been a delay of four hours resulting from the forward train getting off the track and stopping all the others.
		We had cars enough to transport all of General Ord’s command, which was to go by rail to Burnsville, a point on the road about seven miles west of Iuka.

	APL: History - Evolution of Rail in America
		Soon after major ocean transportation carriers began the lengthy process of integrating containers into their operations in the 1950s, America’s railroads were loading these “boxes” onto flatcars to deliver goods more quickly and easily to the U.S. interior.
		In fact, the impact of published rail schedules was so great by the turn of the century that some cite the schedules as being the primary influence on the concept of punctuality in America.
		For example, containerized transportation providers used a chassis — a wheeled frame onto which the container is seated after being discharged from a vessel — so truckers could haul a container to and from a customer’s warehouse.

		Transportation methods were much improved when the Vermont Central Railroad connected a spur route to the city in 1849, and again in 1873 when the Montpelier and Well River Railroad connected the town to the Connecticut River Valley.
		However, the Central Vermont Rail Depot remained and became the lifeline of the town once again at the end of the 19th century, when Northfield's booming granite industry relied on the rails to ship their products.
		Rail lines were connected there in 1875 and 1888, resulting in a major expansion of the local granite industry.

		Transport was done by road, rail, sea, and inland waters.
		The other rails all had the strategic defect of not being convenient for rapid concentration by land; for most of the Southern rails were laid with a view to getting surplus cotton and tobacco overseas.
		If the roads, rails, and waterways are better around the circle than inside it, then the odds may be turned the other way; and this happens most often when the forces on the exterior lines are the better provided with sea-power.

	APL History > Rail
		Carrying road vehicles by railcar, known as piggybacking or trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC), was first introduced in 1822 in Germany, when farm wagons were loaded onto flatcars.
		As TOFC caught on in the 1950s, the use of boxcars gradually declined for the same reason that the use of containers in ocean transportation brought an end to break-bulk cargo-handling.
		Using boxcars to move goods other than bulk commodities via rail was almost as labor-intensive and inefficient as using break-bulk cargo-handling methods to move goods by sea.

		Earlier, rails were mere wooden planks laid on log sleepers or perhaps stone blocks, if available.
		After 1810 there were a few instances of steam power used for coal transport at collieries, but it remained for George Stephenson, the self-taught son of a Northumberland colliery fireman, to become the first and premier railway engineer of the age.
		It was in 1822, when a gang of 300 navvies pulled into Stockton the carriage of a local dignitary who was to lay the first rail, that the railway age began.

		The exception was made in the case of George Stephenson, because the revolution in transportation, due to his improvement of the locomotive engine, has had such a powerful influence upon the industrial development of the nation.
		In 1822 he was sent to represent Great Britain at the Congress of the Powers at Verona, where he frustrated Russia's intention of interfering in the affairs of Spain.
		They declared that the plan to carry the rails over the surveyed route across Chat Moss, a wide morass, was impossible; and furthermore, that no locomotive could make headway against the high winds which at times prevailed in that region.

		Wooden rails had long been used to facilitale mine transport, and when cast-iron rails were introduced at Coalbrookdale in 1767 their use spread quickly—a horse could pull five or six times as much on these as on a common road.
		Rails suited the mineral traffic in hilly regions, where canal locks would be too frequent, and careful surveying could save animal power by downward inclines on the loaded run.2'' South Wales soon acquired over 300 miles of tramway.
		It might even be suggested that the improvements in road transport before 1840, though not sufficient to challenge longd~stance rail transport for the next half century, nonetheless laid a bat for later victories.

		During the great strike of 1877 the entire military force of the county was again called on, and promptly responded with the exception of two companies of the 8th and the Ashland Dragoons, the circumstances surrounding which rendered concentration in season impracticable.
		This was the first transport that arrived at the point selected for the concentration of the troops for the line of operation against Vera Cruz, and the Washington Artillery was the first company of troops that disembarked at Lobos.

		By the time these obstacles were overcome or were no longer important, the nation's transportation system had created a marketing arrangement that was disadvantageous to old southern port cities which had served as transshipment ports for staple products or, as in the case of Pensacola, for an exhaustible commodity, timber.
		Both proposals erroneously concluded that, because the depth of water on the bar did not appear to have changed since the earlier surveys in 1764 and 1822, the bar was a permanent bank of sand not subject to shoaling.
