Also, did you know that the average freight train consisting of 100 cars and weighing anywhere from 12 million to 20 million pounds takes over a mile to…

interacted with each other. This was a natural observation; the place was a classroom at a family daycare center. The room was decorated as an imaginary park. It contained a pretend kitchen with stocked utensils for the children to play. There were trains, cars, puzzles, books, and many more toys. The children played on a colorful mat in where they jumped and skipped. There was a treasure box inside the classroom where children pretended to play with any furry friends.

that manufactures received from using railroads. They truly depended on trains for all stages of a factories development: constructing the factory with imported steel and concrete, powering the factory with imported coal, exporting products from the factory, bringing employees to work, and taking waste to dump sites. It all required railroads and without the railroads there would’ve been no factories or industrial north. Trains carrying such a vast amount not only completed all these tasks but…

Everybody was upset because of all the arguing but I was happy that we were going to get there a little bit earlier. When we woke up, Mr. Richards was gone. He had gone without us.…

It was the last moment of peace John would ever feel, as he dreamt of being reunited with his family, and being held by his mother again. The no. 52 northbound train from Atlanta, Georgia to Greenville, South Carolina would on no occasion reach its last stop (Barnett 2015). As the boxcars toppled off the tracks like a line of dominoes tipping over, some of them twisting like a pretzel, his body slammed against…
