The Day the Iron Horse Took Over: FINAL EPISODE (Ep. 221)

In this, the FINAL EPISODE of the Amazing Tales podcast, we look at the very first mile of commercial railroad track in the U.S., which was laid by the B&O Railroad – the same train line that hosted the epic race between the Tom Thumb steam engine and a horse-drawn train car to determine supremacy. Trains are nearing their 200th anniversary in the country and will play a big role in next year’s 250th anniversary of the founding of our country.
