To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the contrary, it is certain that some absolutely reliable method of ensuring a suitable reduction of speed on sharp curves would remove the last lingering objection to really high speeds every- where else. Who shall say how many centuries of unnecessary sitting in railway carriages the units forming the travelling public have collectively endured, owing to the fact that, one night in July, 1896, the pre- cautions against excessive speed on curves taken by the North Western were insufficient ...to prevent the THE WEST COAST 121 drivers of the two engines hauling the 8 p. M. Scotch express, from miming their train off the line just north of Preston station ? The summer before that unlucky accident took place there had been some real attempt on the part both of the East Coast and West Coast companies, in the race to Aberdeen to show how much, in the way of speed, their various engines could achieve, and these achievements were really remarkable, and opened up possibilities before unrealised, if not un- dreamt of.
