"What hath God wrought?" is a verbatim quote from the King James translation of the Bible (Numbers 23:23).
If you're into numerology the number 23 is supposed to be highly significant. See the Wiki entry for "23 Enigma". In contemporary English the phrase would be "What has God made?" Samuel Morse sent that text as the first traffic on the Baltimore-Washington telegraph line. The line was built for general communications purposes, not as part of a railroad operation. However, the historic Morse transmission was sent from the U.S. Capital in Washington DC to a Baltimore & Ohio Railroad facility at Annapolis, MD. in 1844. Apologies to anyone who considers this OT.
