Welcome to this weeks video in which we look at some of the bizarre attempts to create an Atmospheric Railway. From Medhusrt to Brunel and all in between.

Usual notices:
1. We are not historians. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits.
2. Errors. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found:
