These major metropolitan newspapers, such as Horace Greeley’s Tribune, and James Gordon Bennett’s Herald, were available in the larger Northeast cities and even circulated far beyond the cities because of the steam rotary press’s speed and low cost efficiency. The availability of national and world news was an important factor in unifying Americans across the union however; the

remaining in Tokyo, and Japan as a whole. Chronicle information of the building Even though the Tokyo Station was constructed in 1914, its actual plan is connected to the history of Japan’s rail in the 1880s (Ito n.p). It is therefore viewed by the Japanese as being significant in the advancement of rail technology and as a symbolic structure within Japan. By 1885, several railway tracks were already passing through Tokyo, thereby necessitating the need for a central terminal to be built in the

resource challenges. A key driver of rail sustainability is the infrastructure, the rails, switches, yards and turnouts that the railroad industry uses when moving goods from source to destination. Both the government and the individual railroads are investing heavily in infrastructure projects, and have chosen different targets for improving the health of the railroad system.

railway system, many provinces, such as British Columbia and Prince Edward Island, agreed to join Confederation. Canada’s first railway line was built in 1836 and the first railway system was completed and opened in 1885. On November 8, 1885, the first rail train traveled across Canada from sea to sea. These were the first steps of transportation history in Canada. The transportation system is a necessary tool used for development of Canada, but it is a problematic aspect for a large country because it

The 1880s proved to be a time of change for America. High unemployment rates and low wages in many cities forced many to look to new opportunities in cities and elsewhere. This included the newly expanded west. In the 1880s Kansas had three dominating groups- railroad companies, farmers, and cowboys. All three dealt with individual triumphs and struggles when developing the West and specifically Kansas in the later part of the 19th century. Railroads spent most of the 1880s concerned with previous

The Canadian Pacific Railway was important in the birth and development of many Canadian cities. Once finished settlers found themselves based along the rail tracks. This was because the railway line determined which cities would grow and which would die. Every small town wanted to be near the tracks which made transportation easier and growth faster. The tracks would bring great business. (Berton, 2005

safer than vehicle transportation, but trains constantly get blamed for collisions that were not controlled by people. Opposing views say the trains are dangerous as they are, but supporters say car crashes have more risk of death. A calculation of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, states, “a motorist is almost 20 times more likely to die in a crash involving another motor vehicle” than a train (Operation Lifesaver, Inc.). In 2016, there were 2,025 vehicle to vehicle collisions

Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The name was changed by the federal passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, which mandated the state's plan for all of its surface transportation, including mass transit, bicycle, and rail. In 1919 Colorado became one of the first four states to tax gasoline sales to help finance the construction and maintenance of roads. By the 1990s, the initial tax of one cent/gallon increased to twenty cents/gallon (Jessen, 1982). According
