Summary

Look back a 100 years and see the first railway engine used on the Stockton-Darlington - the first railway line in the world. 12 to 15 miles an hour was the highest speed ... there were no sirens of steam whistles then ... the tail lamp was a bucket of burning oil. Compare LNER latest express pacific type 150 ton engine, capable of 78 miles per hour.
