Can anyone tell me what would be the most common, affordable, mode of travel, East to West in Pennsylvania in the mid to late 1800's? Would it be by rail? What if a family was moving and had household goods to transport? Still rail, or if not, what other modes were available? Thanks in advance to anyone who has looked into this.

Carol, I would think that it would have to have been by rail, or the good old fashioned horse and buggy.
