| Description | Queen Victoria Goes by Train |
| Details |
Queen Victoria travelling by train in its early days, along the Royal route to Scotland on the Great Northern Railway. The Queen's progress on these journeys was slow for she so disliked fast travelling - she objected to anything in excess of 40 miles an hour - that in one of the Royal coaches a small disc and crossbar signal was installed on the flat roof of the carriage by which admonitions on the speed of the train could be transmitted to the enginemen.
