Pittsburgh, 1868: the first train fitted with George Westinghouse's air brake stopped just short of a horse and wagon. Seventy years later, steam's fastest run came on a day of brake trials. In between, brakemen still died on icy car roofs. This is how steam learned to stop, grew into giants, and raced at two miles a minute.
