This exhibit is presented in two forms: a recreation of the exhibit panels and a plain-text copy better suited to screen readers or slower connections.Railroads have captured the public’s imagination. Initially, they were technological marvels. For over 100 years they were the lifeblood of the United States. In the west, with its vast prairies and isolated towns, railroads have been especially important. For good or ill, they were linked to nearly every important social development in the United States between the 1880s and the 1960s.
