"The railroad comes from hell": It was hailing protests, as Germany's first steam locomotive on December 7, 1835 wrong between Nuremberg and Fürth.
The pastor of Schwabach was sure: what was going on in nearby Nuremberg could only be a trick of the devil. "The railroad comes from hell, and anyone who travels with it comes down to hell," he railed from his pulpit. Also doctors warned about the "smoking monster". Passengers would risk a brain disease if they did not previously die of pneumonia due to the wind......silly people throwing stones against it -
But they all could not stop the project which changed our world...
