Unabashed BR (Blatant Repost), not too sure who may have posted it some 15 years ago but for those that have never seen it it's a short history of Rail starting with the Stockton & Darlington railway in 1825 and ending up with all sorts of fancy shit. The soundtrack's pretty good too and best heard at the highest volume you can get away with, the cognoscenti may detect sounds from the BBC RadioPhonics Workshop behind the scenes ...these guys and ladies knew their stuff- enjoy!

note; slow starter - stick with it...
