Frag den Gaul?“ („Jugend“ Nr. 43, 1903) * „J’aime le chemin de fer parce qu’il nous apporte la forêt, les chansons, les courses joyeuses, l’air, le ciel et le printemps. (Jules Janin, 1837) * „It has been said that the locomotive engineer is not a civil engineer (laughter), but I claim that he is something perhaps more-a civilising engineer.

(„Kladderadatsch“ 1858) Was Charles Dickens von der Lokomotive sagt. „On, on, on — tears the mad dragon of an engine with its train of cars; scattering in all directions a shower of burning sparks from its wood fire; screeching, hissing, yelling, panting; until the thirsty monster stops at last beneath a covered way to drink, the people cluster round, and you have time to breathe again.
