trains. However‚ the reclassification process of the shipment delays the movement. To prevent a shipment from being reclassified at every train yard it travels through‚ shipments are grouped together to form a block. Blocking is a problem in the rail industry‚ postal and package delivery‚ trucking‚ and the airline industry.

Chinese Immigration and the Building of the Railroad Long ago‚ people needed to get across the country. They didn’t have cars and plains‚ so they used trains. Before the trains‚ they had wagon trails‚ which were slow to use. In the 1800’s‚ workers in the USA started building a train from Nebraska to the west while California built a railroad toward the east. The work building the railroad was hard. Since not enough men in the area wanted this hard construction work‚ the railroad companies

The clouds hovered over the train creating a barrier of security from the outer world. The wake of the river created ripples forming the ice around the iciclistic trees.

Because there was nothing to see through the train’s windows‚ many passengers dozed peacefully‚ lulled to sleep by the gentle‚ rhythmic‚ clickety-clack of iron wheels passing over jointed rails. Crewmembers roamed the aisles and halls making sure that those guests still awake were accommodated and comfortable. In less than a second‚ this peaceful scene was shattered by a thundering roar as seats were torn from the floor and passengers were
