#OnThisDay 222 years ago, the Surrey Iron Railway extended from Summerstown to Pitlake Mead in Croydon. A horse-powered plateway (flanged rails on stone blocks), part of the route remains in use by London Trams between Mitcham and Waddon Marsh. Image: NYPL buff.ly/wjRBC9j

#OnThisDay 184 years ago the first trains called at London & Blackwall Railway's Fenchurch Street terminus (advertised opening was on 2nd August). The original 1840 terminus on Minories briefly remained open too, despite their proximity. Image: Gordon Haws buff.ly/BeXyhI4
