Three sleepers, two chair coaches, passenger, baggage, and mail cars, loaded with travelers, trunks, and pouches of letters and papers; we are familiar with the sight of these heavy cars and the puffing engine which draws them. But what makes the train move? What power is great enough to do this? It is the power of steam, and steam is made from water by means of fire. ## Chapters - [CHAPTER VIII.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/44/index.md) - [CHAPTER VIII.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/36/index.md) - [CHAPTER V.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/26/index.md) - [CHAPTER IV.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/32/index.md) - [CHAPTER VI.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/21/index.md) - [CHAPTER V.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/33/index.md) - [CHAPTER V.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/41/index.md) - [CHAPTER V.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/6/index.md) - [CHAPTER III.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/39/index.md) - [CHAPTER IV.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/19/index.md) - [CHAPTER VII.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/15/index.md) - [CHAPTER III.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/3/index.md) - [CHAPTER I.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/29/index.md) - [CHAPTER III.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/18/index.md) - [CHAPTER VI.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/42/index.md) - [CHAPTER VII.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/8/index.md) - [CHAPTER V.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/20/index.md) - [CHAPTER II.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/17/index.md) - [CHAPTER VI.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/7/index.md) - [CHAPTER VI.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/34/index.md) - [CHAPTER IV.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/25/index.md) - [CHAPTER III.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/31/index.md) - [CHAPTER VII.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/28/index.md) - [CHAPTER II.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/38/index.md) - [CHAPTER I.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/1/index.md) - [CHAPTER VII.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/35/index.md) - [CHAPTER VII.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/43/index.md) - [CHAPTER I.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/9/index.md) - [CHAPTER VI.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/27/index.md) - [CHAPTER III.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/11/index.md) - [CHAPTER I.](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/american-inventions-and-inventors-47258/chapters/16/index.md) - [did.
