"London, Paris, Berlin, and Brussels were first among European capitals to construct railway lines in the 1830s. This study compares not the cities themselves but rather the ways in which the development and implementation of railways varied among them, shedding light on the role of rail systems in the more general context of historical and urban studies."--BOOK JACKET.

Micheline Nilsen is an Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of Indiana, South Bend.
