George Stephenson
Answer 2
The first steam locomotive prototype was built in 1784 by William Murdoch, who was born in Scotland and worked as an engineer and inventor in Birmingham, England. The prototype was the basis for a later design that could carry 4.5 tons of cargo in addition to the driver.
The first locomotive to be able to pull cargo cars on a track was developed in 1804 by Richard Trevithick, a British inventor and mining engineer. It could pull five cargo and passenger cars at a speed of 4 km/h.
In 1820, George Stephenson, English civil and mechanical engineer, overcame the problem of the weight of the engine crushing wooden and iron rails by distributing the weight with a series of wheels and built the first successful railway. It was a line of 8 miles, from Hetton to Sunderland and the first rail that did not use animal power.
How do you get from Grand Central to Fordham Road?
You can take the 4 train (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line) directly from Grand Central Station to Fordham Road.
The D and B trains (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line) also stop at Fordham Road. The Fordham Road stop on the B and D trains is slightly east of the Fordham Road stop on the 4 train.
If you want to take the B or D, then:
1) Take the S shuttle train west across 42nd Street, from Grand Central (East 42nd) to Times Square (West 42nd).
2) At the Times Square Station, transfer to the Uptown A or C trains (of the A-C-E, the blue line). Note that the 42nd Street stop on the A-C-E is not actually Times Square, but the Port Authority Bus Terminal. That is because the A-C-Eruns up and down 8th Avenue, while the Times Square Station is at 7th Avenue.
But, there is an underground tunnel that connects the A-C-E to the Times Square Station, so you can transfer without exiting the subway system.
3) Take the Uptown A or C to 59th Street-Columbus Circle.
4) At 59th Street-Columbus Circle, transfer to the Uptown B or D trains to Fordham Road.

How much would it cost for a train ticket from Harrisburg pa to oxon hill Maryland?
You would have to take 2 Amtrak trains: one from Harrisburg to Philadelphia, then another from Philadelphia to Washington, DC. The first train is about $30. The second can vary from $30 - 120 depending on the specific train (hard to believe, isn't it?) Then in Washington, you take the Red Line Metro train to Gallery Place, and the Green Line towards Branch Avenue, then whichever bus you need for Oxon Hill. It probably leaves from the Anacostia or Congress Hts. station.
HOWEVER: you can get from Harrisburg to Washington for half the price and in half the time by taking a Greyhound bus. It's only 110 miles on Interstate 83 and 95. You may have to change buses in Baltimore. If you take the train you are traveling about 250 miles and paying highly for the privilege.
How do you take a train from Long Island to Astoria Queens?
Well, technically, Queens is on Long Island. The New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens (which are Kings County and Queens County in state government) occupy the western end of Long Island. The remaining eastern portion of the island is made up of Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which are part of New York State, but not part of New York City.
But usually when New Yorkers say "Long Island" they mean only the portion that is NOT part of New York City. In other words, "Long Island" usually means "Nassau and Suffolk" specifically. And I assume that is what you meant, too.
To answer your question: you would take the LIRR (Long Island Railroad) and then transfer to the New York City subway system.
A more useful answer cannot be given without knowing which town or city on Long Island you're coming from. Without knowing where on Long Island you're coming from, I can't say which branch of the LIRR you have to take, what stop to get off at, and which subway lines to transfer to.
Keep in mind that Long Island is 1,400 square miles. Excluding the portion that is part of New York City (Brooklyn and Queens) it's still over 1,100 square miles. There is no way to give useful directions from "somewhere on Long Island" to Astoria, Queens.
