may be regarded as the culmination of the several series installed 
in the six Halls above enumerated. The exhibits are arranged in 
the order of development, beginning with the floating log and the 
human burthen-bearers and pack animals, continuing through 
methods of utilizing man and animals for traction, sledges and 
vehicles with wheels, and concluding with the street (or tram) 
car, which, when hauled by animals, marked the beginning of the 
present railway system. 
The objects in this section, with very few exceptions, were 
acquired from the Department of Transportation Exhibits, 
World’s Columbian Exposition.
