Hiring!Black History Month
The Real McCoy: In honor of Black History Month, we are celebrating black engineers, inventors, and pioneers that have been integral to the evolution of trains and transportation here in the U.S. Elijah J. McCoy was a Canadian American engineer of African American descent who invented lubrication systems for steam engines. He patented his first significant invention, the automatic lubricator, in 1872 while working with Michigan Central Railroad. This invention allowed trains to travel longer.
