”Christian Wolmar describes the emergence of modern railways in both Britain and the USA in the 1830s, and elsewhere in the following decade. He charts the surge in railway investment plans in Britain in the early 1840s and the ensuing ’railway mania’ (which created the backbone of today’s railway network), and the unstoppable spread of the railways across Europe, America and Asia. ” /Källa: bokförlaget Head of Zeus
