Pennsylvania pioneered durable highway building while early rail and steamboat milestones marked its transport history. The Stourbridge Lion, the first US locomotive on rails, came from England for Delaware and Hudson, while John Fitch’s steamboat carried passengers in 1780 from Philadelphia to Burlington.
