Railway engineering: the nuts and bolts of hidden beauty |
Scholars can already study railway archives in repositories all over the
country, but Network Rail has just put part of its beautiful archive of
Victorian and Edwardian infrastructure diagrams on the
web<http://www.networkrail.co.uk/virtualarchive/>.
This amounts to an invitation to anyone, anywhere, to contemplate such
images out of sheer curiosity and love of beauty. They give us plans
of the high-level
bridge at Newcastle upon
Tyne<http://www.networkrail.co.uk/VirtualArchive/high-level-bridge/>,
with its columns trailing down the screen like tall sepia waterfalls, and
Bristol's neo-gothic Temple Meads station, in ethereal ink
outline<http://www.networkrail.co.uk/VirtualArchive/bristol-temple-meads/>.
