MailTrainArt
For almost two centuries the train was
much more than a means of transport traveling between books, music, pictures,
films and utopias. It was the industrial revolution that put the train on the
tracks.
The steam engine and the need to transport
more and more cargo and people took the creation of the first train in 1825. In
Portugal the train would arrive thirty years later with the connection between
Lisbon and Carregado.
The train is also an important element of
the culture of the industrial world, even appearing as a centerpiece in the
futuristic manifesto published in 1909. The locomotive is the symbol of the
path to the future.
In literature we can find the train on the
pages of Georges Simenon, Aghata Christie or Eça de Queiroz, among others. In
the music of Zeca Afonso, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington or Bob Dylan you can
also hear the rhythms of the train.
The train is also a centerpiece in many
films, so much so that one of the first films shown by the Lumière brothers
showed the arrival of one of them at a station. They are proof that the train
can travel far beyond its rails ...
