Good spot, I shall look out for it, thank you.
As to building railways, I'm very much a Brunel man. The Great Man, on horseback, personally surveyed & set out the line for the GWR from Paddington to Bristol. It's not as easy as it sounds, ideally the line needs to avoid hills & valleys, cross rivers where the width is most narrow, dig tunnels & all sorts.
So the line included such Victorian wonders as Maidenhead Bridge & Box Tunnel. Well over a century later, both are still doing their job as well as they did on Day 1, despite traffic loads & weights being significantly higher.
