The fishplate instead of the frog, and the steel rail in place of the good old snakehead! "The song of the rail" died out to a low continuous hum when Carnegie began making steel rails and showed the section-hands how to bolt them together as one. Andrew Carnegie was a practical railroadman. He knew the buyers of supplies and he knew how to convince them that they needed his product.
He came back from England with the Bessemer process well outlined in his square red head. Others had put the invention through the experimental stage he waited. That shows your good railroadman. Let your inventors invent most of their inventions are worthless when the thing is right we will take it on. The Carnegie fortune owes its secret to the Bessemer steel rail.
