Baltimore * Ohio on which it was expected to rely for the its line when opened. Speedily followed the revelation to him that this was not to be animal but steam; and no man left deeper impress upon the locomotive of his time than this farm-formed dreamer of dreams. Long, the Army Topographical engineer, Norris as ffinana from the farm, Rogers the carpenter, Swinburne another carpenter, Clark the wool carding machine maker, Danforth who made spinning frames, and Masnn the producer of cotton machinery generally. These and the host of others who played great parts in the earlier stages of the American locomotives upbringing; not to overlook the landscape painter Horse who gave to the world the telegraphic alphabet by which the locomotive to this day is timed in its movement; all originally were men of foresight more less inexplicable from the strictly rational standpoint as is regarded that which restricts cause and effect to the influence of early environment. Dreamers, men of imagination, men who have visions, men of initiative - term as you will - the earth would be a sorry place without them. 44
