Old movie on the C&O Canal, by Edison, ca. 1917; B&O footage at about 3:12 in Part 2, and also in Part 3 at 2:12: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZJR-TdH4ec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipcTYhLl83A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WY9nJ1Vq0M We don't always appreciate what a difference powered transportation makes. It took seven days for those mule-boats to cover the 184 miles that the Capitol Limited covers in a few hours. |
