Iron roads

 TL;DR -- Rails. Iron roads. Puffing motion. The early view.

Wall Street Journal has had several articles on the 250th. Two days ago, they covered their view of the top inventions. We will go over this list. One issue had an image that we used in a post a while ago. Be mindful of the first year which was 1860, prior to the Civil War. By 1870, there was one thread out west. Then things boomed.

Note comparison with the U.S. Post Office

Meanwhile, here are a few links to WSJ material. 

 As we have noted, the 250th needs to be in mind over the next few years, until the 250th of the 1783 peace treaty was signed with Britain.
