We crossed the stream again to Manchester on our way to 

 Buffalo. . . . The mode of conveyance to Buffalo was by 

 railroad, a distance of about twenty-one miles. The line, is 

 merely a slip of iron nailed along a stout wooden rail, and was 

 in many places broken and uneven. It would be perfectly unable 

 to bear the weight and friction of an English locomotive, but 

 answers tolerably well, where neither speed nor weight of the 

 carriages is great; at any rate it is an improvement on the heavy 

 "stage," plunging at every yard into a mud hole. A slightly 

 open fence alone separated it for a considerable distance from the 

 high road ; there was nothing else.
