Nice map. I am wondering how may of these lines still exist.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it is much more complicate now! Sometimes I think it would be nice to go back and visit simpler times. But, they had their own issues as well I suppose.
ReplyDeleteA very unusual way to demonstrate a rail route.
ReplyDeleteThis is huge! Shows us how proud they were back then about their rail system. I too wonder how many lines continue to exist. I'm a big admirer of what the Victorians wrought. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
