The watch that made the heart of the railway beat
Before the 1920s, the railways developed without any real coherence, connecting cities more than uniting people. Then came a new impetus: the lines became organized, the journeys more reliable, and the train became a cornerstone of daily life. The railway ceased to be a technical feat and became a lasting link, keeping pace with a country that was becoming increasingly dynamic.
