About this book

The arrival of mass railway travel in the 1800s spread a global transport system, but national styles developed in how lines were built, run and administered, and in what passengers experienced. Trevor K. Snowdon examines how those styles differed between two countries.

Using travel narratives alongside a broad range of other contemporary sources, the author sets the railway cultures of nineteenth-century England and America side by side. The comparison concentrates on the social structures and values of each country.

Readers of transport history, and of nineteenth-century Anglo-American society, will find the comparison a clear way into the subject.
