NOTES AND REMINISCENCES OF HALF A century's PROGRESS IN RAILWAY WORKING, AND OF A RAILWAY SUPERINTENDENT'S LIFE, PRINCIPALLY ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY, WITH SOME SUPPLEMENTARY MEMORANDA AS TO THE RAILWAY JOURNEYS TO AND FROM SCOTLAND MADE BY HER LATE MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA. XonDon: M'^CORQUODALE & CO., LIMITED, PRINTERS, CARDINGTON STREET. 1904. ^7 A77373S" PREFACE. Owing to suggestions made from time to time by old comrades in railway life, I have been induced to put together some record of the part I have taken in connection with the inner working of Railways; going back to very early experiences, and through gradual developments extending over a long series of years, to the time when it became advisable for me to retire from the daily pressure of the work. A railway service commencing in 1847, carries one back a long way towards association with those who were the actual pioneers of our railway system ; from whom we learnt our first lessons, by whose successes we have profited, by whose failures we have acquired knowledge ; and on whose foundation we have endeavoured to raise a superstructure of so sub- stantial a character, that those who follow in our steps will have no reason to be ashamed of their predecessors.
