- Contract between James Goold and the Mohawk & Hudson Railroad for Passenger Cars, 1831 - James Goold established his carriage shop in Albany, New York, in 1813. When the Mohawk & Hudson Railroad ordered six passenger coaches from him in 1831, Goold adapted his horse-drawn stagecoach designs to railroad service, using swell-sided bodies and leather thoroughbrace suspensions. The four-wheel stagecoach style seen in Goold's cars was superseded by longer eight-wheel railroad coaches by 1840.
