Excerpt from Our Railways, Vol. 1 of 2: Their Origin, Development, Incident and Romance
There are many books on railways, but in this work the first attempt is made to give a connected story of the inception and extension of our great lines and the incident that crowds them. To describe thoroughly the construction and development of the vast and Intricate system of railways that spreads over the land would be a man's life-task; but the author has en deavoured to indicate where these tracks go, what they have cost, their service to trade, whom they carry, and the wondrous variety of event and circumstance, of work, endurance, humour, dilemma, and heroic deed inseparable from railway travel.
