The first engine and train in America 1900

DeWitt Clinton train (1831) exhibited on railroad flat car to spectators. Unable to block the Erie Canal, and lacking capital for a railroad in New Jersey, Stevens turned to Pennsylvania, which was also considering construction of a series of canals. His locomotive was designed to propel itself by a rotating cog-wheel, not unlike that in use today on New Hampshire's famous Mt. Washington Railway, for he had to show the feasibility of railroads climbing the hills and mountains that had blocked westward development.
