Excerpt from Railway Locomotion and Steam Navigation: Their Principles and Practice

Her graceful figure excited the admiration of the multitude, and amongst the crowds who ﬂocked to her decks I made a cursory inspection of the engine, in order to see by what inconceptible pro gross of mechanical ingenuity the power of the machine, as described, could be compressed into the small compass of 375 horses.

Some months since it was comtemplated by influential parties in New South Wales to establish a railway from Sydney to Goulburne, the distance, as the crow flies, being about one hundred miles. A provisional committee was appointed to ascertain the probable income and expenditure, and engineers were invited to communicate with them, as to the practicability of the project and the best mode of carrying it into effect.
