The first train in the United States ran in the town of Mount Washington, Pennsylvania, in 1827. This was the locomotive known as the "John Bull," but it wasn't until 1830, with the opening of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, that a more significant milestone was achieved, marking the start of the American railroad era.
