The history of the species as described by Evolutionists discuss the theory of hunter-gatherer tribes roaming around, having seasonal patterns knowing where to find the food and transporting themselves by walking. Later agriculture based became prevalent as the most recent activity. And we know from written history of the last 10,000 years that mankind transported themselves for water, food, battle and later trade on the backs of animals, in the hulls of boats and on people powered apparatuses.

The first pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock to set up that first colony by way of boat, as did Columbus to the West Indies before in 1492. Leif Erickson is said to have come over 1000 years earlier. As the colonies grew they built up the area, by building trails and roads. Later on we built inter coastal boat transportation, then trains, trolleys, barges, submarines, cars, trucks, buses, blimps, aircraft, helicopters, etc.

Today transportation impacts every single part of our daily life and it is the Flow of Transportation, which is the one of the most important flows to insure quality of life and higher standards of living. If you ever have the opportunity to visit some of the Transportation museums in the New England States including the Trolley Museum in Maine;

and The Land Cole Transportation Museum in Bangor Maine;

Danbury Railway Museum;

and The Golden Age of Trucking Museum;

you will certainly conclude that, we have come a long way. As a matter of fact after visiting nearly every truck, aviation, railroad, trolley, ship museum in the country, one would have to say that we have put a huge emphasis on transportation in this country, from day one. It is a good thing we did too, because the efficiencies in the flow of transportation have helped our Nation become an economic powerhouse. We must continually work to upgrade our country’s transportations systems and use our innovative spirit to propel the technologies available to make it even more efficient. Part of the reason we are so successful today, is because we were able to transport products to market, people to school or work and the things we needed to build or civilization. This is how our transportation system brought itself and us to the modern era. Think about it.
