this weekend, on american artifacts, we tour the railroad exhibit at the henry ford museum in dearborn, michiganthis is a replica of an 1831 locomotive. the replica was built in 1892 so it is historic now. this gives us an idea of what steam locomotives and trains would have looked like in the late 1820's and early 1830's. it was located in new york state and eventually became part of a railroad in new york city, one of the largest railroads and united states. railroads in 1830 were very small, local affairs. had grander ambitions of connecting the atlantic ocean with the great lakes, eventually we got to that point, but it took us decades as these local systems grew into each other to form comprehensive national networks. seele are always shot to this locomotive, especially the cars. they look like stagecoaches on steel wheels. that is exactly what they are. developa few years to the standard travel coaches we know today. when the railroad was introduced they use the technology they knew trade stagecoaches worked fairly well to start with, but they tended to rock and roll when you are traveling

these weekend on american e henryts, we toured th ford museum in dearborn, michigan. here's a preview. >> behind the is our 1942 allegheny locomotive, which is the high water mark for steam locomotive technology. they dont come much more powerful than this. this locomotive weighs close to 730,000 pounds without the water and coal. over one million pounds. horsepower was 7500 tremendously powerful. the problem is there is a limit to the size you can build a steam locomotive, and the allocating is pretty much -- the allegheny is pretty much there. it becomes too heavy for bridges. this is about as big as the steam locomotive ever got. it was designed to hold coal trains in west virginia. >> watch the entire tour on american artifacts sunday at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. eastern. this is american history tv, only on c-span 3. sunday evening, american history tv features an oral history interview with -- who throughout his career with united press international and u.s. news and world report photographed a dozen american presidents beginning with eisenhower. here's a preview. dec

there was a case in dearborn, michigan, where a student wore a t-shirt. it was back in -- it was ten years ago. it had a picture of the president on it. it said, war criminal. now that's controversial. he wore it for half of the day and nothing happened at all. the teacher brought him in and said, you have to take that shirt off or go home. he said, tinker v des moines. i have a right to do this. she said, no. no. look at this. she read to him from black's dissenting opinion in our case and presented that to him as though that were the original law. i'm just saying that because a lot of times or sometimes, i should say, school authorities aren't really sure what the law is themselves. now a lot of them are, and i work frequently with a professor who teaches school law and i have appeared in his classes many, many times and so there are many teachers and administrators who do know what the law is and will be supportive of you if you let them know what is going on. i just want to encourage everybody to pay attention to what's going on, to think for yourself
