- Summary:
- "This is not to be a book on railway history, but one concerned with the impact of the railway on a world which, apart from a few dreamers, had never imagined such mechanical advance: the impact upon its social habits, and upon artists who gladly, hopefully, but often penuriously, tried to make a living out of this new phenomen which quite unexpectedly struck a few of them as being beautiful as well as useful"--p. 7.
