George Westinghouse

Storyline: The story of George Westinghouse, the inventor of air brakes for trains. Before his invention, there were many train accidents, due to the fact that the brakeman had to rush from car to car and set the brakes by hand. It took a long time to stop a train in those days. Nobody wanted to pay to test Westinghouse's brakes until Andrew Carnegie agreed. On the very first trial run in 1869, the train was to make several test stops along the way, but had to be put to a full test when a man was thrown onto the tracks by a horse. The train stopped in time and saved the man's life.

Untitled Story

Storyline: Mozart started writing little pieces of music when he was only five years old. Some were too complicated to be played. When he was a young boy, he wrote an oratorio in less than a week as a test for the Archbishop of Salzburg. The score for The Miserere had been kept a Vatican secret, until he was able to write down the entire score from memory, when he was 13, after hearing it only once. Though much of his later life was spent in poverty, his music was seldom sad or depressing.
