| In the early days of railways, trains consisted of short, fairly rudimentary carriages, an ordinary stage-coach body fitted to an underframe with axles. |
|
| When railroads came upon the scene they were opposed by turnpike companies, stage-coach proprietors, tavern keepers and farmers. |

| Leaving the capital by the Porte St-Jacques, his stage-coach was stiffly sprung, had unyielding seats, was likely overcrowded and offered only leather straps for comfort and support. |

| The poor wretch, who lay motionless a long time, just began to recover his senses as a stage-coach came by. |
|
| Over two hundred years have passed between the stage-coach and the high-speed train, the clipper and the jet, during which technological progress and the higher speeds it enables have spread relatively slowly. |
|
| Like the old cowboy movies where the stage-coach turns over in the desert, and the wheels spin nonsensically. |
