THE RAILWAY STATION, ARICA, PERU, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

The Railway Station, Arica, Peru, 1865. View from a sketch by Mr. J. N. Dutton '...of H.M.S. Shearwater, when lying in that harbour of the Pacific coast. [The view] includes the railway station and workshops of the line running to Tacua, a city about forty miles inland. The station is the first building on the right; the centre buildings, which stand on the other side of the line, are flour-mills; the workshop is the farthest building on the left; and the building which is seen at the back of the View is one which stands in the cemetery of Arica, on the Zapa plain. The Zapa valley is very pretty, the green bushes making an agreeable contrast with the sandy hills which surround them. The trees in the foreground are chiefly cotton. It is a very pleasant walk along the line with this rare verdure on each side. About a quarter of a mile to the left of the station is the Water Battery, a battery of three guns, one of which is a large 16-inch American gun, and the ether two 32-pounders. Altogether, the place is tolerably well fortified; and the fort on the hill commands the entire town, so that it would be difficult to land hostile troops without a considerable loss'.

Opening of the first railway in New Zealand, at Christchurch, Canterbury Province, 1864. Engraving from a sketch by Mr. R. Kelly. Canterbury was the first province '...to introduce the railway locomotive and the electric telegraph...The event...was one of no ordinary interest to the province, and drew together a large number of the inhabitants. Trains continued to run up and down throughout the day, and afforded gratuitous rides, as well as immense amusement, to crowds of colony-bred young people, to whom a ride in a railway-train was, perhaps, a novelty; as well as to many others, who had not enjoyed that mode of conveyance since they emigrated from the old country...The Lyttelton and Christchurch line is the beginning of a system of railways, to be carried to the north and south of the Canterbury province, which will open up millions of acres of splendid alluvial plain that lie between the coast line and the snow-capped ranges of the Southern Alps. Our Engraving takes in a distant view of those mountains, which, covered with perpetual snow, and as high as those of Switzerland, form the backbone of the Middle Island of New Zealand, traversing almost its whole length, and leaving a space of some fifty miles in width along its eastern shore'.

'Under the impression that the allied army is now taking possession of Schleswig to deliver it up to the Prince of Augustenburg, a change in the public feeling in Holstein has, we learn, taken place since it was known that the troops had crossed the Eider. This change is nowhere more conspicuous than in Altona, where the Prussians and Austrians were at first received, not only with coolness and suspicion, but in many of the streets with hoots and hisses. But, now...the enthusiasm of the mob is as much in favour of the allies as it was previously against them...when the celebrated regiment of the Prussian Foot Guards called "Kaiser Franz,"...arrived at the Holstein frontier and entered Altona..., they were received by the assembled populace with loud cheering, and escorted by them...to the terminus, where they were treated with refreshments, at the expense of the town, previous to being forwarded by special trains to the front. In the course of the afternoon several other Prussian corps arrived, and were received in the same way with noisy demonstrations of joy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

At the same time the King gave to Mr. Ericcson the Grand Cross of the Order of the North Star as a token of regard and reward for his services.

A great change was effected in the appearance of the town after the departure of the Danes in the morning, as many of the houses were adorned with German and Schleswig-Holstein flags, which also waved from the old Council House; and in the streets the people were moving about in a state of great excitement...The proclamation took place at the railway station, after an energetic speech from Dr. Callisen, a physician, it having been found that the space in front of the Council House was too small to contain the numbers who had assembled.

THE TERMINAL AT SLIUDIANKA STATION, 1900-1904. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

The Terminal at Sliudianka Station, 1900-1904. In the second half of the 19th century, Russia underwent a period of extensive rail development that culminated in the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Akin to the great railroads to the Pacific in both the United States and Canada, Russia's transcontinental line was intended to supply and populate Siberia as well as deliver raw materials to the rapidly developing industries west of the Urals. This photograph is from an album of 56 photographs in the Collection of Documentary Materials on the History of the West-Siberian Railroad (1890s-1978) in the Novosibirsk Oblast State Archive. The album documents the construction of this part of the line, focusing on the engineers and workmen building tunnels and trestles along the route. The album was digitized for the Meeting of Frontiers digital library project in the early 2000s. Iz fotoal'boma "Al'bom postroek i vidov krugobai?kal'skoi? zheleznoi? dorogi. 1900-1904 g.".
