Abstract

The article focuses on the transformative impact of steam power on 19th-century transportation, as illustrated by John D'Alton's 1844 history of Drogheda. Topics include the excitement of rail travel, the fusion of ancient and modern through the carriage window, and the railway's role in connecting historical sites, emphasizing the Dublin to Drogheda line's journey through time and space.
