    Introducing: History of the Railways

    History of the Railways is one man's (probably hopeless) attempt to describe the history of the railways across the world using nothing more than a microphone, his wits, and a stack of dusty old books.

     

    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).

    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.

    You waited patiently through episode 1 thinking, "When's he going to get to the engines?" Well, this is the one about the engines!   Contrary to popular opinion Rocket was not the first locomotive in Britain. In fact, it was about the seventieth.   This episode uses some of the important ones that came before to illustrate the state-of-the-art for motive power before the Rainhill Trials in 1829.
