Traveling in the 1800s versus today from New York City
All the points of travel start at New York City.
By 1930 with the advent of railroads, What took 2 weeks in the 1800s, was now only 1 day.
Can you imagine? Now it’s hours.

Very true… which is why when people say they’d LIKE to travel but can’t do it because of money, I want to squeal. 🙂 You don’t need thousands to travel, you just have to give up some luxuries.

Travelling is now faster and more affordable before people had to take days traveling to reach the desired location, now only a matter of hours to get where we want.
