Reading Railroad opens, carries more coal (7 фев 1841 г. – 20 июл 1845 г.)
Описание:
In 1841, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad opened, and within four years, was hauling three times as much anthracite to Philadelphia each year as the Schuylkill Navigation. In response, the Schuylkill Navigation Company enlarged its canals; by 1847, they could accommodate the passage of boats carrying 230 tons of coal.Добавлено на ленту времени:
