I have no idea, again! Man these are some good questions; very challenging! I am not looking up the answers either through search engines or whatever. Like I always say "When in doubt; guess!"

Well, I didn't see the question until just now but one could have elimated Abraham Lincoln because railroads were too new in his day and their impact at that time was unknown. Then elimnate Herbert Hoover because trains were past the expansion era in his day, so for him it would have been a Duh type statement.
