Description

The Railway Magazine was one of the British contemporaries of The American Rail Road Journal. This issue is from 1835, when the magazine first appeared and was originally sent to a subscriber in Philadelphia, PA. It shows how railroad technological and business information was being exchanged between both sides of the Atlantic. While British railroads did enjoy a technological head start, they soon found Americans catching up and, in some ways, surpassing their technology.
