[B]WARNING! LARGE ENGRAVING AND PICTURES AHEAD, MAY BE TOO LARGE FOR NEWSPAPER.[/B]
Fine gentlemen, I wish to bring you images from one of the most advanced nations on earth.
Behold! The worlds first inter city passenger railway! It opened just last year.

It will be a risky venture as the local farmers think in a foolish manner, claiming this railway will destroy their way of life!
I have also heard already some locomotives are being shipped over to the new world, our American cousins who are keen on industrializing their small nation.
It may even be possible for speeds of 30mph to be achieved on these iron horses! However Mr Stevenson's rocket is not being used as much in favour of the better engine the "Planet"

I surely hope to invest wisely, as I am now chairman of the London and Birmingham Railway company and hoping to get an act of parliament permitting it's construction in 1832.

Slave trading has recently become outlawed in Brazil. I would give it another 20 years or so, and America will follow suit, with Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion and the other occurrences of rebellion.
