Mr Von Slatt very kindly thought of Brass Goggles when he found a page devoted to railroads with an Oddities and Curiosities section – and I am grateful that he did. The page, Railroad Extra, has articles reproduced from old periodicals and publications on subjects as marvelous as Elevated Railways (above image) from 1886, Gyroscopic Railroads (see the amazing image of the floating girl!) and as Mr Von Slatt said himself – a Railroad Fort not unlike the sort that we recently looked at in a Flash game. Quite impressive, really – that there was such variety in the forms taking to the tracks only helps to remind me just how utterly essential to the ‘modern’ world railroads were in those days. All too easy to forget.
