  • Summary

  • When the railway age kicked off, it didn't come out of nowhere.

    Railways need 4 things to work:

    • A track
    • People to build it
    • Rolling stock
    • And some form of motive power

    In this episode we look at the development, and state of the art, of the first three down to 1825, setting the scene for our next episode on motive power.

    Come and join Michael Lancashire as he gets distracted, fascinated, and yes, even sidetracked, by stories from the railways (or railroads if you're American).
