Clegg and Samuda's atmospheric railway, 1845.
Clegg and Samuda's atmospheric railway, 1845. Designed by Samuel Clegg Jnr (1814-1856) and Joseph Samuda (1813-1885), this was the system adopted on the Croydon Atmospheric Railway, the Kingstown and Dalkey (Dublin), the Paris and St Germain, and the South Devon railways. The railway operated without locomotives, using air pressure instead to push cars along the rails. From The Magazine of Science. (London, 1845).
