Excerpt from The Railways of Scotland: Their Present Position, With a Glance at Their Past and a Forecast of Their FutureThe present work, though it would claim to be regarded as a book complete in itself, is, to this extent, a supplement to the larger book which f published last year on the Railways of England that it avoids dealing with matters which are there described, and that it owes its existence to the favour with which the public rece...

Not because the history of Government ownership of railways in the democratic Dominion of Canada is lacking in interest, but for purely personal reasons.

Excerpt from Historical Sketch of State Railway Ownership On the 24th of May, 1830, the first few miles of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad were opened for traffic. Four months later, on Sept. 15, came the opening of the whole thirty miles of the Liverpool and Manchester. A yet more conspicuously dramatic event, for not only did this line connect two of the greatest cities in the world, but a Cabinet Minister was killed by one of the first train...
