Iron Horse was the most famous expression of the flanged wheel on a steel rail and the whistle of a locomotive was the most exciting sound in the land. The Railroad's role in American history was essential and dramatic, particularly in the 19th century, when it literally built a dynamic nation out of an empty and sprawling continent. It was actually the only major industry in the country at the time, and grew at an amazing pace until virtually every town, no matter how remote was within 25 miles of a railroad, and dependent upon it.
