An old engraving showing Clegg’s atmospheric railway in the 1830s. It is from a book of the 1880s. An atmospheric (or pneumatic) railway uses differential air pressure to propel a train. The Samuda brothers and Samuel Clegg developed a system. In 1840 they leased track in west London. The lead carriage had a piston inserted in a tube between the rails. The pipe’s leather flap opened in front of the piston and sealed again behind it (bottom illustrations). A pumping station at the railhead created a vacuum in the tube ahead of the train. Air pressure behind the piston pushed a train forward. Stock Photo
