Condition New! One thing that I would like to point out to the new reader of this train shed is that the cars of this issue are made out of wood. The use of steel or metal is limited at this time. Some of the types of wood used were oak, yellow pine, popular, mahogany, cherry, ash and black walnut. The wheels at first had cold steel bands or tires. Use of wood in the trucks was a common thing. It was much later that the trucks we see today on trains began to come into use. Or shall we say were invented! Freight and passenger cars in the beginning were basically made of wood, with most likely less than ten percent being some kind of metal part. So, if you take the above as being a correct statement, this issue is an important part of understanding the evolution of railroads. In other words, this is the Beginning!
