Bloody British. Just think how many died building them.

Great achievement and good progress. But it came with a price.

In the UK, about 500 navvies a year died building the railways here. Even recently, 10 workers were killed during the construction of the Channel Tunnel: https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/objects-and-stories/navvies...
