(inherited from collection) - Description:
- "Let there be no probability of any competing line. Some of the railways now in the course of formation, will, in my opinion, scarcely pay a fair per centage; and if railways are made to compete with each other, it is almost an impossibility that they can pay; for instance, if the Legislature permit it (which I cannot believe), the Manchester and Birmingham Extension Railway, and the Grand Junction, will have a conflicting and injurious effect upon each other, and one, if not both, will probably be ruined." —letter to the editor from "Examiner," The Railway Magazine and Annals of Science , New Series, No. XXXIII, November 1838. page 372.
