False. Thomas Cook is widely credited with organizing the first package tour, but it was not via railroad. In 1841, he organized a 12-mile excursion by train for a group of temperance campaigners, which is considered the first package tour. However, the tour was by train and on foot, not solely by railroad

True.

While Thomas Cook's first excursion in 1841 was not via railroad, he is credited with organizing the first package tour by railroad in 1845, when he took a group of travelers from Leicester to Liverpool via train.
