First US Rail Line Laid In Pennsylvania 1809
Mr Barnet Le Van cites September 1809 as the date when John Thompson laid the first experimental track in the United States in Pennsylvania. The work for Thos Leiper began with a 180 foot line graded to one and one half inches to the yard, four foot gauge, sleepers eight feet apart. A loaded car proved the concept and a subsequent one mile line for quarry stone ran along Crumb Creek to Ridley Creek in Delaware County. Foundations still show drilled rock holes later plugged with wood to hold sleepers.
