Transcriber's Note
The Morse Code image just before the "Contents" page appears to
translate as follows:

[Note: ¬¬ equals the longer 'dash' in the image.]
Time Correction
On page 214, No. 70 is reported to pass Madeira at "7.04". However, the
time of travel for No. 102 between Madeira and Norwood was 12 minutes and
No. 70 left Norwood at "5:50" (according to the "Train Sheet"). So, "7.04"
was changed to "6.04".
