在早期铁路旅行者的许多恐惧中，速度和通过黑暗隧道的旅程是最大的恐惧之一。本论文着眼于铁路隧道及其在旅行者，地主，工程师和航海家，作家，记者和艺术家心目中的地位，在铁路发展的先驱时期，直到1870年。虽然隧道和隧道工程在工程文献中占有重要地位，但它们一直被社会历史学家所忽视。这篇论文的目的是证明隧道是值得尽可能多的关注，任何其他铁路结构，如车站，这一直是近年来铁路文献的主题。
第1章是对最近铁路文献的回顾，其中铁路隧道被作为次要主题引入。
第二章讨论了隧道施工初期的问题，并以布鲁内尔箱形隧道为例进行了分析。
第三章讨论了铁路公司、土地所有者和议会之间的关系。利奇菲尔德勋爵和特伦特河谷铁路在舒格伯勒大厅被用作一个案例研究
第四章论述了早期铁路指南和文献中的隧道。它也研究了铁路版画中对它们的描绘，作为一个建筑特征，或者设置成一个更广阔的景观，为观众提供自己的信息。特别提到的图片由jidocbourne为他的卷在伦敦和伯明翰和大西部铁路。
第五章探讨了反铁路游说团体对隧道的恐惧。本章认为，鉴于隧道中实际发生的伤亡人数很少，这种担心是没有道理的。
第6章介绍隧道洞口的各种设计。本论文探讨布鲁内尔、斯蒂芬森及其他人的设计，他们是真正的铁路时代的杰作。
Of the many fears of early railway travellers, speed and a journey through a dark tunnel were among the greatest. This thesis looks at railway tunnels and their place in the minds of travellers, landowners, engineers and navvies, writers, journalists and artists, during the pioneering days of railway development up to 1870. Although tunnels and tunnelling occupy an important place in engineering literature they have been neglected by social historians. The intention of this thesis is to demonstrate that tunnels are worthy of as much attention as any other railway structures such as stations, which have been the subject of railway literature in recent years.
Chapter 1 is a review of recent railway literature in which the railway tunnel has been introduced as a secondary topic.
Chapter 2 discusses the problems involved in early tunnelling and uses Brunel's Box tunnel as a case study.
Chapter 3 discusses the relationship between railway companies, landowners and Parliament. Lord Lichfield and the Trent Valley Railway at Shugborough Hall are used as a case study
Chapter 4 discusses tunnels in early railway guide books and literature. it also examines their depiction in railway prints, as an architectural feature in their own right or set into a wider landscape with its own message for the viewer. Particular reference is made to the pictures by J.C.Bourne for his volume on the London & Birmingham and Great Western railways.
Chapter 5 looks at the fear of tunnels as promoted by the anti-railway lobby. The chapter suggests that such fears were unjustified in view of the few deaths and injuries actually occurring in a tunnel.
Chapter 6 looks at the variety of designs for tunnel portals. This thesis examines designs by Brunel, Stephenson, and others, which are truly masterpieces of the railway Age.
