ABSTRACT:
This paper considers representations of the railway in the city as a negative presence - degenerative and threatening - as expressed through its disruption of the urban fabric, its association with crowds, with environmental pollution, with cultural decay. The focus of the paper is on nineteenth-century London, and the evidence reviewed includes poetry, journalism, fiction, and the physical evidence of the contemporary urban environment itself. This paper was presented at the Fundación de los Ferrocarriles Españoles congress, February 2001, Aranjuez, Spain.
