Railway transijortation has made theUnited States what it is today. Practically all otherforms oi transportation have been superseded, andmany of the water systems of transportation formerlyin use have been abandoned. Quantity and quality arethe constant cry and can only be met by sujieriorequipment which the science of railway engineeringhas made possible for the great railway systems ofour country to employ. As far as is known, the first vehicle to be actuallypropelled by steam was a gun carriage built by Nich-. Cugnots Stea olas Cugnot, in Paris in 1771, while the first locomotivedesigned to run upon rails was built in 1803 by RichardTrevithick, a name that is still associated with thelocomotive industry in England; a name that has re-ceived distinction as well in other countries, principallyEgypt and japan. Strange to say. the first successful effort in locomo-tion by steam in .America was the Oructor Amphi-
