Trains Word Search
This trains word search runs forty words down the line: the caboose, boxcar and flatcar, the conductor and the engineer, the station and the platform, the steam and coal of the old days, and the bullet train and maglev of today.
The first railroad across the United States was finished on May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit in Utah, where the Central Pacific line from California met the Union Pacific line from the east. Leland Stanford tapped in a ceremonial golden spike, and the news went out by telegraph. Most of the world's track is laid to a gauge of 4 feet 8 and a half inches, the width George Stephenson used on early British railways.
Railroads gave North America its time zones. Before November 18, 1883, every town set its clocks by the sun overhead, and a railroad timetable had to juggle dozens of local times. On that day the railroads switched to standard time, and many towns had two noons. Japan opened the first Shinkansen line between Tokyo and Osaka on October 1, 1964, just days before the Tokyo Olympics, and its trains were soon nicknamed bullet trains.
