The Railway Era
The Railway Era
<P> The coming of the railways coincided with the arrival of the telegraph, and marked the start of a new era. The country was changing, and quickly. Before then people could travel only as fast as a horse could carry them, now they could travel at nearly 100 miles an hour. </P> <P> The railways introduced mass transport, and fostered emigration and the move to the cities, the development of seaside resorts, and even a standard time zone across the country - all the trains kept 'Dublin time'. </P> <P> National markets developed, with national newspapers and brand-name products replacing small local ones. Whole empires were built on the back of railways. But with World War I interest switched to roads and motor cars, and many railway lines fell into disrepair and closed. </P>
