PRlMlTlVE RAILROADS.
A Glimpse of the Methods In fee In En;-
l-nd a Century Ago.
Probably few people at the present time
can rcalive what a quaint and curious line
the Liverpool and Manchester railway was
in its early (lays. or how totally different
were all its appointments from those to
which we are now accustomed. Yet trav-
elers were vastly pleased with it, and
thought that to pay 5 or ii shillings to go
30 miles in an hour and a hall was the
perfection of cheupneas and speed. They
went into confusion about tlleilcllghiu of
jingling along over a jarring stone block
road, in compartments about as commodi~
one as our London four wheeled cabs, or
in scmiopen cluu's a bunc, where they be-
came blinded with sparks and ran consid-
erable risk of being set on fire. Every
time the train stopped the [toast-rigors were
bumped against. each other, screw rou-
plings being unknown till lull}. but they
seem to have borne it all cumpluccmly.
The first class vehiclcs were painted ,vcl-
low and bore such names as Queen Ado-
lnide, Marquis of Station], Treasurer and
Dospatch. lining usually 15 foot long.
upon a base of only 6 feet, they pitched up
and down considerably as they ran. To
the second class coaches there were light
roofs or awnings, but often no sides and
no doors. The color of those airy convey.
nuccs was blue or pink. A bout two and a
half ions was the average weight of all the
enriches, some more. some less; but all
were constructed in the lightest and weak-
est manner by builders who had by no
means grouped the difference In working
conditions between road and rail traction.
The guard sat. on the roof of the lust
couch, or of one lltlcd with a brake. and
was exposed to rain and snow, bent and
cold, dust and sparks, in n barbarous
manner. This mode uf treating a man
so important in the safety of the train
train was usual on most lines in this coun-
try till nearly 1860. and was but one of
the many ways in which the early railway
men copied the stagecoach system without
considering how essentially different it
was. The flrst class were “inside" passen-
gers. The second wcro“outsides,” who
must. expect a taste of bad weather. The
third were lnmusidurablc "stage wagon‘
pcople, who were cnutemptunusly hitched
