Overall, a very good copy. A series of reports by eminent railway engineers, on the opening of the Great Western Railway, which first ran trains in 1838. The parts within discuss, in some depth, Brunel's choice to use broad gauge rails, and include tables reporting on the performance of different locomotives, the cost of running trains, and both the financial and engineering considerations made in the design and construction of the GWR. Within the reports, the authors reproduce correspondence from other railway engineers, including George Smith and Robert Stephenson. The former owner of this copy, H. T. Rendell was himself a locomotive engineer for the Great Western Railway (Institute of Mechanical Engineers: IME/7/32/1/196). A comprehensive and fascinating record of the engineering challenges behind the establishment of one of England's great railway lines.
