The enterprising young Edison.
In 1859, when he was 12, Al gets a job as a trainboy, on the morning train from Port Huron to Detroit, selling newspapers and sweets.
During this period young Edison set up a chemistry lab and a printing press on the train.
The company lent him a carriage where he installed a typewriter and a handmade press.
He was able to write and print four hundred copies a week of "The Grand Trunk Herald", for entertaining the train passengers.
The money earned with the newspapers was invested on his lab, that was settled in the same train carriage.
Ricardo, Andrea M., Patricia & Olivia
