DIVISION OF TRANSPORTATION.

D. Land Vehicles: Hall 55. 
E. Street (or Tram) Cars: Hall 54. 
In the Division of Transportation all methods of marine and 
land conveyance are included, except the steam railway, which 
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 ve- 
hicles 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.
