All Abord the Night Train: History of American Railroads

In this bedtime story for the curious, we explore the history of American railroads. From the opening of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1830 to the Transcontinental Railroad, the rise of magnates like Cornelius Vanderbilt or Jay Gould and the transformations in the way Americans lived and consumed, I invite you to travel with me on this geographical, cultural and economic epic.
