Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed examination of Tyneside's part in developing the United Kingdom's railway system over a century and a half. Beginning with a description of the earliest waggon-ways and tramways, the author shows how they influenced the development of the locomotive, changing from primitive wooden rails to the parallel steel rails in use today. With in-depth accounts of significant figures like George Stephenson, the book examines how early railways changed from horse-drawn to steam-powered and chronicles the opening dates of various railway lines in the area. The broader impact of the railway on the economy, industrial development, and social changes of the time is a major theme, and the author argues that this book is not just a history of railways but also a history of the community they served. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781527854093_0
