1850: In April 1850, Julius Reuter started a news and stock price information service using carrier pigeons between Brussels and Aachen, Germany using 45 trained birds. There was a telegraph gap of 76 miles between Brussels and Aachen. The birds were sent each day by rail to Brussels and they flew back to Aachen with the information. Their flight only took two hours, much quicker than by rail and it worked well. This continued until the telegraph gap was closed in the first quarter of 1851.
