3/X It immediately put the legendary Pony Express out of business.

Thanks to the telegraph, talking around the world in an instant became possible.

It wasn't personal Pony Express 🐎 just #Disruption 101.

1/X In 1862, the Pacific Railroad Act chartered the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific Railroad Companies, tasking them with building a transcontinental railroad that would link the United States from east to west.

[Telegraph @railsimplified]

2/X When the transcontinental railroad was linked in the United States, there was a line of #telegraph wires that ran parallel to it. This was done to facilitate instant communication.

Trains are the most environmentally friendly mode of transportation - accounting for just 1.9% of U.S. transport-related greenhouse gas emissions

[Telegraph @railsimplified]

One train has the equivalent capacity of removing 280 trucks from the North American highway system.

[Telegraph @railsimplified]

Did you know that roughly 40% of all goods in North America travel by train?

~ 1% of US GDP may hang in the balance today as railroad unions announce results of a crucial vote on labor contracts. Often overlooked, freight rail is a linchpin of US supply chain. 1 month strike = $160B out of our economy cc: @hcligon @tele_io
