Railroads, the offspring of the 19th century, have developed in a few decades with remarkable rapidity, both in the old and in the new world and have left an indelible impress on our planet. With a length of 620 000 km. (in round numbers) or more than 15 times the length of the equator, they now cover the civilized countries of the earth and still continue to branch out. Here, they press boldly into large territories not yet open to commerce; there, they weave smaller meshes into the already existing network of rails; everywhere they distribute rich blessings to the inhabitants, and hence, too, are everywhere desired.
