It was the dawn of 1863, and London’s not-yet-opened subway system — the first of its kind in the world — had the city in an uproar. Most people thought the project, which cost more than 100 million dollars in today’s money, would never work. So how did they do it? Christian Wolmar explains how the London Underground was built at a time when no one had built a railway under a city before.

Are you sure about all the dots on that map at the end?
The City & South London Railway was arguably the most genius of railways.
I love how apparently (at least according to this world map), there are subway networks near the Hudson Bay, which has a population density of less than 1 person per square kilometer, but not in Toronto, Canada's largest city.
3:56 You missed out Sydney on this map
3:56 you just put dots randomly on the map…

Why does the steam locomotive shown have two independent sets of driving wheels. They would never work that way because this is an inside – cylinder locomotive. This locomotive is supposed to be an 0-4-4, not an 0-8-0. The flues and pipes would have to be designed to essentially rotate to accomodate the 'bogies' of driving wheels. This works on outside cylinder engines, but not inside cylinder engines because the cylinders are inside the frame.
Lol sorry

The Underground Railroad: Am I a joke to you?
Everyone mocks it until it works.
I have a question : Why most rapid transit systems in Europe named "metro", such Paris Metro, Moscow Metro, Kiev Metro, Metro de Madrid, Prague Metro or Budapest Metro?
