Antedating such spectacular post-Civil War advances as the steel rail, automatic coupler, and airbrake, was the invention of the safety truck for locomotives. Intended to lead the bobbing, weaving locomotive around curves on the rough track of the early roads, it did much to reduce the all too numerous derailments that were a major cause of accidents.

And Now, Above The Roaring Undertone Of The Cars, From Far Ahead Floated Back The Treble Bell-Notes Of The Locomotive; There Came A Gritting Vibration Of Brakes; Slowly, More Slowly The Cars Glided To A Creaking Standstill Beside A Sun-Scorched Platform Gay With The Bright Flutter Of Sunshades And Summer Gowns.
