Excerpt from The London North-Western Railway
In the days of our grandfathers, when the railways were being made, many people said they would destroy the charm and romance of the country. The iron bridges, it was said, and the great cuttings and embankments, would be scars upon the landscape; the engines, with their smoke and noise, would destroy the peace of quiet places, and the crowds of trippers carried everywhere would make the country even less pleasant to live in than the town.
