"The Railroad industry in Syracuse New York got its start in October 1831 when a convention held in the city marked one of the earliest moves to stimulate the era of railroad building which ultimately brought steam railroad service to New York State.1 At the time of the convention the oldest railroad in Onondaga County was in operation for two years.

1876009587<p>The transcontinental <i>Lightning Express</i> captured the attention of the nation while transporting a theatrical troupe from New York to San Francisco in under 84 hours a record-breaking time for an opening night performance. <br /></p><p>The national excitement generated by the arrival of the <i>Lightning Express</i> in Oakland was incredible and not to be again matched until Charles Lindbergh landed the <i>Spirit of St. Louis</i> in Paris fifty years later.

When therefore a specially chartered train filled with theatrical celebrities . . . made the passage from coast to coast in the record time of eighty-four hours Americans followed the magnificently publicized event with awed enthusiasm. . . The Lightning Express was chartered by Henry Jarrett of Jarrett & Palmer managers of the Booth Theater in New York to transport the celebrated Lawrence Barrett and a distinguished supporting cast in time for the opening night of Henry V at McCullough's California Theater in San Francisco. The project instantly caught the fancy of the public and fantastic newspaper coverage was accorded the train's departure . . . over the rails of the Pennsylvania and then the Chicago & North Western--Union Pacific-Central Pacific route to California. The actors rode in ornate splendor aboard the Pullman Palace Hotel Car Marlborough while a commissary car carried appropriate food and drink and the scenery rode in a conventional baggage car. All across the continent the train's passing was the occasion for the wildest excitement and at Reno nearing the end of its run its approach was greeted with an exclamatory display of rockets and other artifices de feu. The run over the Central Pacific from Ogden to Oakland a relay of 875 miles including the High Sierra crossing was accomplished by a single engine and a single engineer Hank Small at the driver's side. No. 149 a sleek 4-4-0 achieved immortality overnight. The sooty actors weary but triumphant were met at San Francisco by Warren Leland the manager of the eye-popping Palace Hotel and taken to a breakfast of grilled salmon cucumber salad filet of Beef Bearnaise cutlets of Minden lamb escalloped veal partridges sautéed in champagne grilled Mallard duck asparagus strawberries and three kinds of eggs shirred with mushrooms and rum omelets. . ." <br /></p><p><p>That evening the night of June 4th Jarret & Palmer's <i>Henry V</i> opened on schedule in San Francisco to a sold-out house. <br /></p><p>Extremely scarce.
