pulled by human or animal power. Steam engines powered locomotives and ships in the ninetheenth century. The internal-combustion engine was invented in the 1880s and used almost immediately in cars and trucks. The jet engine was invented in the 1940s. Each of these inventions was improved by thousands of additional innovations. But less-obvious technologies also made transportation cheaper and faster. Manufacturing innovations‚ from Baldwin Locomotive Works’ record-keeping systems to Henry Ford’s assembly

It was the Summer of 2010‚ I had recently discovered a camp online called "Railcamp" after stumbling upon a video about the camp‚ this particular camp was hosted by the State of West Virginia’s Operation Lifesaver Agency. I have always had an interest in trains since I was very young‚ I lived right beside a Mainline until when I was around 3 years old. One day‚ I was browsing on the internet and found a YouTube video about Railcamp. This immediately caught my attention. The camp was supposed to last

Antiknock agent An antiknock agent is a gasoline additive used to reduce engine knocking and increase the fuel’s octane rating by raising the temperature and pressure at which ignition occurs. The mixture known as gasoline‚ when used in high compression internal combustion engines‚ has a tendency to ignite early before the correctly timed spark occurs (pre-ignition ordetonation) causing a damaging "engine knocking" (also called "pinging" or "pinking") noise. Research[edit] Early research into this

Intermodal and Rail Freight in the United States Railroads historically have been the most ecologically sound way to move freight from one place to many other places where rail is available. When diesels are compared to rail‚ the rail has become more cost-effective than transporting using the interstate system by depressing emissions and decreasing pollution. The Predetermined Rail System The beginning of the rail system didn’t actually start from the rail system as we know it from the 1800’s
