King of the Rails, 1915

The history of railroading through 1915, including film of the DeWitt Clinton replica in operation, horse-drawn streetcars and elevated rail in New York City, and the electrification of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific rail line.

Fascinating how railroads were convinced electricity would become the main power source in just a few scant years, but somehow it never caught on despite offering numerous advantages.
