About this book
Rambles on Railways by Cusack P. Roney includes maps, diagrams, and appendices. The discussion of railway investment contrasts the benefit to the United Kingdom with the position of people who put money into railway construction. The account describes the earliest railways opened in England as no doubt profitable to shareholders because the great arterial lines connected leading places with established traffic.
The comparison of engines says differences between classes are considerable, although less great than the differences between horses. The text says a first deposit brings a free numbered book in which all deposits are to be entered. The account credits railways with making the operations of the banks possible and describes advice of each deposit being sent on the day of receipt.
