First Railroads and a Dark Day Across Lands
A historical sketch recounts the Liverpool and Manchester Railway opening in 1830 with the Rocket engine winning a prize, the Duke of Wellington attending, and the fatal accident of MP Mr Huskisson. It notes rapid passenger use, subsequent rail upgrades, and a separate mention of the 1780 Dark Day in America with a 128 year old eyewitness recalling the event.
