THE NEW HIGH-LEVEL STATION AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE, 1865. CREATOR: T SULMAN.
The new High-Level Station at the Crystal Palace, 1865. 'The South London and Crystal Palace Railway...has now been open several weeks...the superior convenience of the new station is already felt by many visitors...[who are able to] avoid the tedious walk up half a mile of corridors and staircases imposed on those arriving by the Brighton Company's line...[The station] is situated on the slope of the Upper Norwood-Hill...The platform being on a level with the lower floor (in the machinery department) of the Crystal Palace, railway passengers will have easy access by a handsome and well-lighted subway...The station has four platforms, of which two are set apart for the use of first-class passengers only, and these will communicate by a separate passage with the first-class entrance in the centre transept...There will be room in the station and sidings for engines and carriages enough to carry away 7000 or 8000 passengers in an hour...at present nineteen trains run daily each way...The line has been constructed by Messrs. Peto and Betts; the engineer is Mr. Turner; Mr. Shelford is the resident engineer, and Mr. Edward Barry has been the architect of the Crystal Palace station, which was built by Messrs. Lucas, at a cost of about £100,000'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. The new High-Level Station at the Crystal Palace, 1865. Creator: T Sulman. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

THE ABERFELDY BRANCH OF THE HIGHLAND RAILWAY: STRATH TAY, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Aberfeldy Branch of the Highland Railway: Strath Tay, [Scottish Highlands], 1865. 'A short branch of the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway has lately been constructed to Aberfeldy, in the upper valley of the Tay...Though its length is less than nine miles, its construction has been a task of some difficulty, and does much credit to the engineers, Messrs. Joseph Mitchell and M. Paterson, and to Messrs. Macdonald and Grieve, the contractors; the earthworks extending to about half a million cubic yards of cutting, and an equal amount of embankment; while the bridges, including the viaduct across the Tummel and the Tay, are no less than forty-five in number...This Aberfeldy branch crosses first the Tummel and then the Tay..., its course lying on the south side of the Tay...The most important engineering works on the line are the viaducts crossing the Rivers Tummel and Tay...The Tay viaduct consists of two openings of 137 ft. span each, and two side girders of 41 ft. 6 in. span, making the clear waterway of the bridge 357 ft. The bridge is supported also on six cylinders, 8 ft. diameter, which are sunk, on the average, 22 ft. 4 in. into the bed of the river, and the centre piers to the top of the ornamental towers are 67 ft. high'.

NEW RAILWAY CARRIAGE BUILT FOR THE USE OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES ON THE GREAT EAST...1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
New railway carriage built for the use of the Prince and Princess of Wales on the Great Eastern Railway, 1864. 'A representation of the new and elegant saloon carriage, built expressly for the use of the Prince and Princess of Wales, in their journeys to Sandringham and back by the Great Eastern Railway, is engraved in our pages this week. Their Royal Highnesses, with the infant Prince, attended by their ordinary suite, travelled by this conveyance from the Bishops'gate terminus to the Wolferton station on the occasion of their last visit to Norfolk, when the Prince expressed himself much pleased with the arrangements made by the railway company, and especially with this beautiful carriage. It has been constructed in the workshops of the company at Stratford, by Mr. G. Attock, superintendent of the carriage department, from the designs of Mr. R. Sinclair, the chief engineer. Its total length is 26 ft., width 8 ft., and height 7 ft. 3 in. The interior is divided into three compartments - ante-room, saloon, and retiring room. The length of the saloon is 12ft. 6 in., with doors leading to ante and retiring rooms. The fittings and decorations, by Mr. Thomas Fox, of 93, Bishopsgate Within, are very rich'.

UNDERGROUND WORKS AT THE JUNCTION OF HAMPSTEAD-ROAD, EUSTON-ROAD, AND TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Underground works at the junction of Hampstead-Road, Euston-Road, and Tottenham-Court-Road, 1864. View showing '...what extensive subterranean works are being constructed in different parts of London, yet which make no show on the surface, and the very existence of which is probably unknown to a very large portion of the inhabitants...daily walking over the site...the lines of a number of different works intersect each other [here]. There is, first, immediately under the surface of the road, a double set of mains and pipes for supplying...water and gas. Beneath these passes, transversely, the iron tube belonging to the Pneumatic Dispatch Company, through which parcels are...conveyed backwards and forwards, and occasionally the mail-bags also, between the General Post Office and this district. Under this tube, is the tunnel of the Metropolitan Railway, through which trains are constantly passing and repassing. The Pneumatic Dispatch Company's tube cuts through the crown of this tunnel. On each side of it run large sewers which form part of the London Main-Drainage works. Beneath all these structures we have shown a longitudinal section of the proposed Hampstead, Midland, North-Western, and Charing-cross Railway - a line which is not yet made'.

LONDON MAIN-DRAINAGE WORKS: VIEW OF THE OUTFALL OF THE NORTHERN DRAINAGE AT BARKING CREEK, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
London Main-Drainage Works: view of the outfall of the Northern Drainage at Barking Creek, 1864. Illustration of works on '...the great northern outfall on the Essex side of the Thames, west of the river Roding (generally known as Barking Creek.)...The embankment in the distance...contains buried in it the great outfall sewers through which the entire accumulated drainage of the metropolis north of the Thames finds its way into the river...The extensive works indicated on the right are the tops of the arches which cover the reservoir (twelve acres in extent) in which the sewage is allowed to accumulate during the greater part of the tide, and from which it is allowed to escape by gravitation at or near the time of high water, so that it may be carried down the river with the ebb tide. But it is not intended to allow the sewage to run off with the bottom of the ebb; the sluices will be closed two hours before low water, so that the last of it will have travelled sufficiently far down the river before the tide returns to prevent it again visiting the metropolis. Or if it does come back part of the distance, it will be in combination with such a mass of pure water that it will not be noticeable'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

SCENE FROM MR. WOODIN'S ENTERTAINMENT, "ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY," AT THE POLYGRAPHIC HALL, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Scene from Mr. Woodin's Entertainment, "Elopement Extraordinary," at the Polygraphic Hall, 1864. A carriage on '...the London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway...A strong-minded young lady, taking advantage of Leap-year, has eloped with a weak-minded young gentleman, and is pursued by her uncle, who...[hides] in a second-class carriage, while they occupy one of the first class...the old gentleman...[discovers that the young man] has come into a large fortune...Hearing the lovers quarrel in the next carriage, he joins them with the design of preventing a rupture, still keeping his face concealed...Mr. Woodin plays all three characters himself, the audience burst into wondering laughter when they see carriages entered by one person after another, and behold heads popping now out of this window, now out of that, while all these travellers are but one and the same man. But their astonishment reaches its height when the scene changes...with the uncle, the two lovers, and the head of a ticket-collector thrust in at the window, all visible at once. This combination is produced by an ingenious arrangement of stuffed "dummies," which Mr. Woodin animates at pleasure by introducing his own face where the face ought to be and working the several arms'.

OPENING OF THE FIRST RAILWAY IN NEW ZEALAND, AT CHRISTCHURCH, CANTERBURY PROVINCE, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
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'.

THE WAR IN DENMARK: PRUSSIAN TROOPS LEAVING ALTONA FOR SCHLESWIG...AT THE RAILWAY STATION, 1864. CREATOR: FREDERICK JOHN SKILL.
The War in Denmark: Prussian troops leaving Altona for Schleswig - the officers taking a hasty meal at the railway station, from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. '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.

TARRADALE VIADUCT, ON THE MELBOURNE AND SANDHURST RAILWAY, AUSTRALIA, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Tarradale [sic] Viaduct, on the Melbourne and Sandhurst Railway, Australia, 1864. Engraving from a photograph by Morris and Co., of Elizabeth-street, Melbourne. '... the great northern line from Melbourne to Sandhurst, by way of Castlemaine...is eventually to be carried on to the Murrumbidgee River, and to provide for safe and cheap conveyance between Victoria and New South Wales. The town of Castlemaine, at the foot of Mount Alexander, is already a place of great commercial importance. Its site is well chosen for access to the northern and western gold-fields, as well as to the fertile agricultural plains of the Loddon and the Avoca, which lie behind it. Sandhurst, at the entrance of the Bendigo gold-field, is about twenty-six miles further on, through a picturesque country of grassy meadows and well-wooded hills. The Tarradale Viaduct...is reached before arriving at Castlemaine from the south. It is in the neighbourhood of some very rich quartz reefs, which have been worked so profitably that the roadside station of Tarradale has rapidly grown into a town...The Tarradale Viaduct is about 600 ft. in length and 100 ft. high. Its construction differs in no respect from that of many similar works in Great Britain'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

OPENING OF THE CAPE TOWN AND WELLINGTON RAILWAY: ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST TRAIN..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Opening of the Cape Town and Wellington Railway: arrival of the first train at Wellington Station, 1864. 'This is the only considerable railway undertaking begun in South Africa, and the first that has been finished in Cape Colony. The line, which is single, and about fifty-eight miles in length, including the extension into the city at Cape Town, crosses the Cape Flats, and ascends the Eerste River valley, passing through Stellenbosch and the Paarl, and terminates at the town of Wellington, situated at the foot of Bain's Kloof Pass...The railway was opened on the 4th of November last by Sir Philip Wodehouse, Governor of Cape Colony...On the arrival of the train the volunteers, under the command of Colonel Hill, presented arms, the band played "God Save the Queen," the cannon of the artillery thundered a Royal salute, and the immense crowd...cheered until they were hoarse. Amid the clamour his Excellency the Governor descended from his carriage and formally declared the line to be open. The numerous guests found ample accommodation in the goods' shed, tastefully decorated, where an elegant repast was prepared...During the day twelve hundred persons travelled over the line without the slightest accident'.

SCENE OF THE DISASTER AT BELOEIL BRIDGE...CANADA, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Scene of the disaster at Beloeil Bridge, near Montreal, on the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, 1864. Engraving from a sketch. '...at the foot of Beloeil Mountain...the River Richelieu is spanned by an iron bridge...A drawbridge forms the connection...[with] the Montreal side...The rule is that this drawbridge should always be supposed to be open, and that the train should therefore come to a dead stand on approaching the bridge, and not attempt to proceed until the proper signal has been given...The train, however, did not pull up at all...the engine-driver, Burney...alleges that he found it impossible to stop the train in time...the train dashed on at a great pace, and...when it arrived at the drawbridge it was found to be swung round for some boats to pass. Down this yawning abyss the cars, with their living freight, dashed headlong. The locomotive and tender, with the first five cars (baggage), went in first, the six passenger-cars piling down on top of them with terrific violence, being precipitated a distance of some seventy feet...the cars fell on one of the barges, sinking it...eighty-six bodies [were] recovered from the river. The driver of the train escaped the death which had befallen so many of those committed to his charge'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Scene of the disaster at Beloeil Bridge...Canada, 1864.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY, NEAR BRADFIELD, ESSEX, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The late accident on the Great Eastern Railway, near Bradfield, Essex, 1864. Engraving from a passenger's sketch of a serious accident involving '...the overthrow of the up-train which started from Harwich at 2.55 p.m...When it had proceeded on its journey towards London as far as within half a mile of the Bradfield station, the engine lurched over and dashed down the steep embankment, dragging all the train after it...The stoker was killed on the spot, having been crushed by the engine. He lay with his hand still grasping the metal handle of the break [sic]. The driver, who also stayed at his post, escaped. The passengers, in the greatest alarm, got out of the carriages as they best could, and helped those who were injured; and it was some time before it was ascertained that, although several persons had been cut, bruised, and injured, and some severely, only the stoker had been killed. An inquest has been opened upon the body of the stoker. The Rector of Bradfield sent those who were most hurt to the rectory-house, where they were cared for in the kindest manner, and their wounds attended to. The passengers who were able to proceed, after a delay of about four hours, were brought to town by a train which was dispatched for the purpose'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

RAILWAY STATION AT THE FRANKLIN PETROLEUM OIL WORKS, PENNSYLVANIA, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Railway Station at the Franklin Petroleum Oil Works, Pennsylvania, 1864. 'The casks or barrels of crude oil are conveyed from the Franklin and Titusville stations by the Atlantic and Great Western Railway...Two hundred miles of railway were constructed in as many days before the end of 1862, and 145 miles were added [in] 1863. The line is now opened throughout its entire length, traversing the fertile States of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and enabling goods or passengers to travel from New York to St. Louis, near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri, without a change of carriage...During the past year the Atlantic and Great Western Railway has carried more than half a million barrels of petroleum oil, which is not one third of the product of this wonderful region. The petroleum oil is sent from America in a crude state, just as it pours out of the earth. The business of refining and preparing it for use is extensively carried on in England and France...It has been proved that a given quantity of this substance will generate, in half the time, as much steam as could be produced by burning twice the weight of coal. It seems likely that the introduction of this portable fuel will have a great effect upon the development of steam navigation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

VIADUCT OVER THE TAPTEE, FOR THE BOMBAY, BARODA, AND CENTRAL INDIA RAILWAY, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Viaduct over the Taptee, near Surat, for the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway, 1862. 'This line, one of the most important of our Indian railways...is destined to carry to Bombay the produce of the teeming cotton-plains from which our finest Indian staple is procured...By employing Mitchell's hollow cast-iron piles...[the company's consulting engineer, Colonel Pitt Kennedy] at once overcame the most serious difficulty...Three of these piers of piles...having been firmly screwed home into the clay or shale...were filled with concrete, and formed the main supporting columns of the bridge, while strut or sloping piles...served...to resist the action of the fierce monsoon currents, and fend off the whirling masses of timber and loose trees so frequently torn up and carried down by the swollen torrents...This whole system of piles...form a firm, rigid pier, on which is supported the light lattice superstructure known as Warrenne's patent girder...The regularity and uniformity of all its parts enabled the natives (who are not quick at learning new methods), after a few trials, to become wonderfully expert, and attain a speed of construction almost marvellous. The entire structure over the Taptee...was put together in eight months'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. Viaduct over the Taptee, for the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway, 1862.

STEPHENSON'S LOCOMOTIVE MANUFACTORY AT NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE: THE STEAM-HAMMER, 1864. CREATOR: MASON JACKSON.
Stephenson's locomotive manufactory at Newcastle-On-Tyne: the steam-hammer, 1864. '...night view of that portion of the forging department containing the Nasmyth steam-hammers, which are used to hammer into shape the largest portions of the engine, such as the crank-axles. The forging of large masses of iron was a great difficulty with the older mechanics, and numberless contrivances were adopted to avoid the necessity of using them. Now the most colossal masses of metal are brought to the desired shape with as much ease as fifty years ago a smith would have made a forging of a few pounds weight. The construction of the locomotive boilers, as may be expected, is a large and important division of the manufactory. Here the eternal din of "closing rivets up" is constantly maintained. Material and workmanship are here even more important than in the manufactories for the wheels. The boilers are constructed of plates of the finest iron...riveted together, and...subjected to the most severe tests. For the quality of this portion of the engine the Stephenson manufactory has always borne the highest character - the principle upon which it is constructed as well as its form having been given to it by the celebrated founder of the establishment'.
