London and Brighton Railway - the Great Ouse Viaduct, 1844. 'The Brighton Railway is our especial favourite. The transit is rapid, and the contrast striking: you are not obliged to wander to out-of-the-way parts of London to get to the terminus and, above all, the scenery upon the line is unusually diversified and champaigny - if we may use the term'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
