from this reference that “Gone were the long trail drives that characterized the prairies from 1866 to 1880 Cowboys no longer lived the rough-and-tumble life that fostered so many romantic visions. Instead of herding their boss's cattle over vast public prairie lands, ranchers now worked more as traditional farmhands, drilling wells to provide water to pastures that did not border on streams and tending the fenced herds.”(Technology and the Making of the West."

styles” (Union Station, Metro), and the station’s originality still shines through as they incorporate its grand old fashion waiting area with the modern aspect of the city surrounding it, using art. Similarly, the article “Reading and Writing about Public and Private Space” by Silverman, helps pull together the aspects of Union Station. When people enter Union Station many times from a late night or long flight, they are greeted by big leather seating couches making the place seem familiar and…

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, better known as Amtrak, is a large company that manages railways all across the country. In 1970, President Nixon signed the Rail Passenger Service Act created by Congress, which started Amtrak. Since the beginning of operations in 1971, Amtrak has been delivering thousands to their destinations every single day, with 15 main national network routes and many other routes that reach over 500 communities nationwide.

1902. Enough about how Grand Central began, what’s interesting is that it took part of the second World War II. In 1942 more than forty percent of the population was using Grand Central and Hitler planned to destroy it. During the war millions of service millions passed through Grand Central, so many that the government had opened a separate branch of the USO inside the station. So it would make sense for Hitler, one of the many Axis powers to destroy America from its roots.…

There is a great idea about living in New York City that attracts millions of people each year. This is the reason we have so many people that live in our great city. But there are still millions of people that work in our amazing city. The Long Island Rail Road, commonly referred to by acronym, LIRR is the ultimate thread that provides great transportation from the suburban Island to the urban Manhattan.

In a national poll of 3,000 riders, 81 percent said safety was the chief factor when using either a taxi or a ridesharing service like Uber or Lyft. However, despite safety concerns, people continue to use these services because of the convenience; for the purpose of work and hauling their children around town for afterschool and summer activities. Today, people tend to have short memories in order to…

Sitting at the bus stop, feeling the cool concrete beneath his feet, and the chipped, worn down bench, Goober waited anxiously for the bus. Sure, he felt bad leaving Jerry behind, but it would’ve felt worse to stay at a place as evil as Trinity. The bus pulled up, and Goober stepped on the bus. Walking through the aisle, he realized he hadn’t even begun to worry about fitting in at his new school. He’d never been to a public school, and it’s hard to be the new kid as a sophomore. Everyone has…

Two British examples of old, antique railway structures built prior to 1840, a tunnel and a bridge, now have protected status. This is thanks to a recent decision in the country by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. In 2014, the Guinness Book of Records named the Fritchely Tunnel one of the globe’s oldest railroad tunnels still left in existence. Built in 1793, the Fritchley Tunnel is 25 meters long and is constructed of sandstone blocks. It was built to be a section of the Butterley…

The design of the system also will focus on improving the land use pattern by implementing development policies along the corridor to influence the city’s form. This is important as public infrastructure specifically transportation will dictate what development path a city adopts. In this case, the implementation of a LRT will encourage a compact mixed used corridor with both high density residential and commercial development that…

railroads are now able to adjust their rates and service to changing market conditions and are no longer required to provide profitless service. With a policy based on free-market principles, railroads will continue to play a major role in the U.S. economy. Therefore, I agree with fact that the US railroad industry has made a profit since deregulation, and seemingly has been rescued from bankruptcy with the continuous improvement in freight transport by rail after deregulation as per statistics…
