Carved in relief on stone, this panel shows steam locomotives beside the dates 1831 and 1936, which together span a century of railroad development. The 1831 date points to the early years of American steam railroading, when the first locomotives were only beginning to run on domestic lines and engineers were still testing basic designs. By 1936, steam power had matured into the large engines that carried most freight and passenger traffic for decades. The raised outlines of boilers and smokestacks make the machines readable from a distance, a useful feature for a public monument.
