First Railroad Station Opened (1807)
-- The world's first recorded railway station was The Mount on the Oystermouth Railway(later to be known as the Swansea and Mumbles) in Swansea, Wales, which began passenger service in 1807, although the trains were horsedrawn rather than by locomotives. The oldest terminal station in the world was Crown Street railway station in Liverpool, built in 1830, on the locomotive hauled Liverpool to Manchester line. As the first train on the Liverpool-Manchester line left Liverpool, the station is slightly older than the Manchester terminal at Liverpool Road.
Read: Railroad Stations (Great Architecture)
-- The exquisitely photographed journey begins with a look at the role of the railroad in the 19th and 20th centuries, from the passenger train's heyday to the present time, when nearly abandoned stations are being refitted for other uses. Find out about the different forms of stations, and how the needs of the region influenced the architectural style. Finally, see some of the classic stations that barely changed since the first trains stopped there and take a fond look back at some lost terminals -- such as New York's original Penn Station -- now gone, but not forgotten.
Retro Train Station Clock
-- This beautiful clock with a scrolled wall mount is inspired by the antique clocks that hang in train stations. This clock looks lovely on a kitchen or living room wall and makes a wonderful housewarming, wedding, or anniversary gift. Its unique two-sided design lets you read the time at any angle. The hand-forged metal hanger and casing in a fine black finish add to the old-world charm and style of this clock. Finished off with an aged ivory face and glass cover.
