The first public railroad in the world to be run by steam was opened in England in 1825. It was a single
track. The next big railroad was a double track that ran between Manchester and Liverpool. The opening
day was a success except for Mr Huskisson, that is.
Eight trains took part in the opening ceremony. There were 600 people in 29 coaches. After traveling for
17 miles, the trains had to stop for water. Mr Huskisson got out of his train to talk to a friend on one of the
other trains. He was half-way across the track when he suddenly saw a locomotive (车头) racing toward
him. It was going at a fantastic speed-23 miles per hour. Mr Huskisson panicked (惊慌) and froze with fear.
He was run over by the train, and died the same evening.
