Night Train ASMR: American Railroads

In this soft spoken ASMR video, we explore the history of American Railroads. From the opening of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1830 to the Transcontinental Railroad, the rise of magnates like Cornelius Vanderbilt or Jay Gould and the transformations in the way people lived and consumed, I introduce you to this technical, social and economic epic.
