Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Midland Railway
The fact that 'the Midland line has been built up by amalgamations, extensions, and purchases, has rendered the work more difficult than it would otherwise have been; it has been necessary to give, not only the names of these small lines, but also the reason why they were acquired, together with a short account of their previous history. The extent of these amalgamations may be gathered from the tabulated statements on pages 348 and 349.
