Re: The introduction of steam railways
Finally got around to watching this (although I moved to the TV where I could watch on a full-size screen using the Roku app). A pretty good production that gets one thinking about all of the downstream economic and cultural impacts of the railroad. I did some fairly rough work when I was a young man, but I certainly wouldn't fancy a life in the slate mines, that's for sure. Makes me realize how soft we've gone collectively in 100 years. Thanks, Mike; I look forward to watching the follow-on episodes.
