The first century of railroading in the United States began roughly 1830 when steam technology finally began to reaching our shores from England which at the time the leader in railway construction. American railroads then rapidly evolved to deal with the unique challenges posed by the continent.

What occurred during this era would not only change the technology available, but would also impart economic, social and cultural standard.
