Abstract:
As the railway system has now been considerably extended in
Ireland, it becomes a matter of interest to mark its progress, and
to examine the parliamentary and other public returns of traffic,
for the purpose of discovering how far it has fulfilled or surpassed
the expectation formed of it by the late Mr. Drummond, and other
gentlemen who sat on the Railway Commission in this country
ten years ago. It will also be interesting to inquire, to what extent
railways have increased the intercourse and developed the
resources of those districts where they have been opened; and
whether the experience we have had points out any obstacles in
the way of their further progress, which ought to be removed by
the legislature.
