EARLY RAILRlADS~
Slides From Historic Prints Portray
Development Of English Rail
Transportation System
LINES BUILT FOR MINES
Tracing the..early development. of
the railroad in England, Prof. John S.
Worley ,of the civil engineering de-
pjartmeut, lectured on the "History of
Transportatin" yesterday morning
before students and faculty members
of the department,-
While, discussing he pioneers in
the railroad field, Professor Worley
revealed that George Stevenson, the
generally accredited inventor of the
locomotive, was only one of three me-
chanics who contributed to the new
application of the steam engine. In
fact, the original designs of Hedley
and 'Hackworth were more success-
ful than that of their contemporary,
he said.
The' need for rail transportation
came in England at the time that the
center of the coal mining industry,
which, originally used canals for water 1
carriage, shiftbd from the water'ways.
The necessity for a connecting link
was first filled by the highways, and
liter by the construction of horse
drawn trams.
This condition set the economiic
stage for the development of the loco-
motive and the construction of rail-
rdad lines. A visual impression of
the first railroad which was built in
1825 was given by lantern slides made
frOm the Ackerman prints which
were published in 1835. The civil en-
gineering department possesses a
complete set of these views which are
now getting rare.
Enormouis cuts and fills were made'
on the early railroads because of the
belief that a locomotive could only
run over a level roadbed with effici-
ency. In laying a portion of the first
line over a swamp which was cross- I
sectioned for drainage, Stevenson, who
was chief engineer of the construction
company, solved an engineering prob-
lem of first magnitude. The entire
track was laid on mat, in a method
similar to that used by present day
engineers.
