  • Railroads in Muncie, Indiana Author Michael L. Johnston May 1, 2009
    Railroads in Muncie 1 Running Head: RAILROADS IN MUNCIE Railroads in Muncie, Indiana Author Michael L. Johnston May 1, 2009 Copyright 2009. M. L. Johnston. All rights reserved. Railroads in Muncie 2 Running Head: Railroads in Muncie Abstract Railroads in Muncie, Indiana explains the evolution of railroads in Muncie, and Delaware County, Indiana. Throughout the history of the United States, the railroad industry has been a prominent contributor to the development and growth of states and communities. Communities that did not have railroads did not develop as competitively until improvements in roads and highways gave them access to an alternative form of transportation. This manuscript provides a brief overview of the history and location of the railroads in Muncie and their importance to the growth of the community. Copyright 2009. M. L. Johnston. All rights reserved. Railroads in Muncie 3 Running Head: Railroads in Muncie Railroads in Muncie, Indiana Evolution of the U.S. Railroad Industry The U.S. railroad industry started around 1810 in the East. After the Civil War, railroad construction was rampant and often unscrupulous. Too many railroad lines were built that were under-capitalized, poorly constructed, and did not have enough current business to survive. Monopolistic and financial abuses, greed and political corruption forced government regulations on the railroads. From 1887 until 1980 the federal Interstate Commerce Commission strictly regulated economics and safety of all railroads operating in the U.S. Until 1980 the various states, also, regulated economics and safety of railroad companies within their individual state boundaries. Railroads are privately owned and the federal government considers them to be common carriers for the benefit of the public.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • Hoosiers and the American Story Chapter 5
    Reuben Wells Locomotive The Reuben Wells Locomotive is a fifty-six ton engine named after the Jeffersonville, Indiana, mechanic who designed it in 1868. This was no ordinary locomotive. It was designed to carry train cars up the steepest rail incline in the country at that time—in Madison, Indi- ana. Before the invention of the Reuben Wells, trains had to rely on horses or a cog system to pull them uphill. The cog system fitted a wheel to the center of the train for traction on steep inclines. You can now see the Reuben Wells at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. You can also take rides on historic trains that depart from French Lick and Connersville, Indiana. 114 | Hoosiers and the American Story 2033-12 Hoosiers American Story.indd 114 8/29/14 10:59 AM 5 The Age of Industry Comes to Indiana [The] new kind of young men in business downtown . had one supreme theory: that the perfect beauty and happiness of cities and of human life was to be brought about by more factories. — Booth Tarkington, The Magnificent Ambersons (1918) Life changed rapidly for Hoosiers in the decades New kinds of manufacturing also powered growth. after the Civil War.

Lizard Problems by Jacqueline Adams 1 My problems started when I learned that Mrs. Reno would be my fourth-grade teacher. She had a lizard in her classroom, and lizards were on my list of terrifying things. And it wasn’t a little lizard. It was a Uromastyx,aslongasmyarmandwithaspikytail. 2 Worse, Trent Dillard was in my class again. Last year, I had to sit in front of him because Amy Carlson comes before Trent Dillard in alphabetical order. He knows I’m afraid of spiders, and all year he pretended to put them in my hair. If he found out lizards were on my list, I’d be finished. 3 On the first day of school, I tried not to look at the terrarium1 in the corner, but Mrs. Reno pulled out the lizard and set him against her shoulder like a baby. “This is Ripley,” she said. 4 Trent whispered, “Bet you’re scared of him.” 5 “I am not!” I said. 6 Mrs. Reno looked toward Trent and me. “What’s wrong?” she asked. 7 “Amy’s scared of Ripley,” Trent announced. , 8 “No, I’m not.” My chest tightened. “I love lizards. They’re my favorite animals.” 9 Mrs.
