When the Boston and Albany Railroad was built in the 1830's, "The officials
celebrated the amazing fact that the two cities were now only fifteen hours
apart by holding a banquet in the United States Hotel in Boston. The bread
served at this dinner was made from the wheat which had been growing in Albany only two days before, and it was shipped in a barrel which had been
a living tree the previous day. The world was beginning to shrink." ( Boston
Ways,
George F. Weston Jr., Beacon Press, 1958, p. 20.)
