Seventy-five years ago the first railway was introduced Into Germany. The experiment was naturally on a modest scale from Ludwigsbann Joining up Nuremberg to Furth. The six kilometers of seventy-five years ago have Increased today to 60,000 kilometers, a kilometer being five-eighths of a mile; and it is claimed that Germany today possesses the finest railway system in Europe. The first locomotive used in the NurembergFurth line was named the Adler and was made under the superintendence of Stephenson in England. It cost £B6O.
