1. The power source of the train: (black smoke, wood)
is the earliest steam locomotive, the main component is steel, and the earliest use of coal-fired steam power, so coal and water facilities must be installed along the line. (The fuel is generally coal or wood.)
The steam engine has a large boiler, which is installed at the front of the frame. A coal fire is burned under the boiler, and the water in the boiler is heated into steam. The steam is introduced into the front of the car by a pipe on the boiler. In the cylinder above the wheel, the steam is so powerful that it pushes the piston in the cylinder to move forward, and the piston is connected to the front wheel through the connecting rod and the crankshaft. go ahead.
If the train emits black smoke at the front of the locomotive, the reason may be that its power has been changed to a diesel internal combustion engine.
The tracks were originally made of wood, but later changed to cast iron.
At that time, the western United States was vast and sparsely populated, dealing with scattered small towns and single-family homes, which was considered a rural life, and the United States allowed guns, single-family homes would be very dangerous, but small towns were not necessarily safe (there are also The bad guy with guns), how to survive, not only can do business to support yourself, but also ensure the safety of your family is very critical, this usually requires a man's wit or "stupid", maybe not publicity, a low-key man can hide a lot Chaos, thinking, if they become a gang of robbery and murder with guns (there is still no bottom line), it will be very scary, there are bad people, there will be good people, even those who maintain social order, they will definitely picket things and deal with bad people .
The ability to hold a gun is very important. You must shoot quickly and accurately. Don't hesitate, because if you hesitate, you can die. The
west was in the middle of the western development. Many young men came here to find jobs to make money, so there were many men.

Of course, there are other countries, but our country does not have them. They should usually be Made from grapes. In our country, one uses wheat and the other uses glutinous rice.
At that time, the living conditions in the west were very poor. As you can see from the film, the clothes at that time were relatively dirty, and there may be no water for bathing for a long time. Water is a very valuable resource. The wine shipped from the east is very precious, so wine barrels can be seen everywhere, and the wine barrels can sit on it. It is good to drink when you are tired from work.
