EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1866, captures the historic moment when the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground railway line, met the London, Chatham and Dover Railway at Junction near Smithfield. The Metropolitan Line, a trailblazer in the transportation revolution, is seen merging with the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, which was a traditional above-ground railway line. The intersection of these two railways marked a significant milestone in the development of London's transport infrastructure. The image showcases the intricate engineering of the Metropolitan Railway's tunnel entrance, with its red brick arches and ornate ironwork, contrasting starkly with the London, Chatham and Dover Railway's steam trains and elevated tracks. The bustling activity around the junction, with workers and passengers going about their business, adds to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene. The year 1866 was a pivotal time in the history of transportation in Britain, as the Metropolitan Railway's innovative underground system began to reshape the way people traveled within the city. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the intersection of tradition and innovation in London's transport history.
