I tip my hat to the workers that did the real labor. The builders are long gone and "sadly" forgotten but because of their skill, craftsmanship and determination their work still stands today. Amazing what could be built before computers and any type of powered equipment.

You’re right! Im convinced we were smarter then.. paradoxically, technology is to blame. Go figure.

@@eliz49Smarter in some ways and not so smart in others. I’ve personally always found it interesting that there are important discoveries throughout history that are made, lost and discovered anew. Just an example is how mouldy bread was used by ancient Egyptians specifically on infected wounds thousands of years before bacteria were even discovered. No, they didn’t know exactly why the mouldy bread worked when treating infection, but they discovered that it worked and they utilised it. They had an efficient Treatment option (considering the time period). Conversely, the oh so civilised Western world didn’t discover antibiotics until less than 100 years ago and even then, it was accidental! Less than 100 years ago, people were still perishing from infections that could have been effectively treated thousands of years prior 😬

Makes me even more proud to be Irish. I never knew any of the history of the railways, or gunpowder works. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Fantastic, better than anything on the telly. 10/10

The butter museum is awesome. The guys who run the place are super.

History must be kept at all costs how we do not have the people to do and keep our history safe, and for the next hundred generations to come Ireland must keep its culture in every way, because Ireland would not be Ireland without the people who are there simply some of the most amazing violin players that I have ever heard Regards Al from down under

Hello from Las Vegas Nevada 🇺🇸

The Pogues- Navigator The canals and the bridges, the embankments and cuts They blasted and dug with their sweat and their guts They never drank water but whiskey by pints And the shanty towns rang with their songs and their fights Navigator, navigator, rise up and be strong The morning is here and there's work to be done Take your pick, and your shovel, and the bold dynamite For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight Yes, to shift a few tons of this earthly delight They died in their hundreds with no sign to mark where Save the brass in the pocket of the entrepreneur By landslide and rock-blast, they got buried so deep That in death if not life they'll have peace while they sleep Navigator, navigator, rise up and be strong The morning is here and there's work to be done Take your pick, and your shovel, and the bold dynamite For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight Yes, to shift a few tons of this earthly delight Their mark on this land is still seen and still laid The way for a commerce where vast fortunes were made The supply of an Empire where the sun never set Which is now deep in darkness, but the railway's there yet Navigator, navigator, rise up and be strong The morning is here and there's work to be done Take your pick, and your shovel, and the bold dynamite For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight Yes, to shift a few tons of this earthly delight

Now do US rail workers of the 19th century

What a vid!!!

What did that gunpowder fellow say at the 11th minute ? Why the CGI, disappointing..😏

Unfortunately in Canada most of the tunnel works were new comers to Canada. Most of them were Chinese. If I remember most of the Chinese were buried in unmarked graves along the railroad. As far as I’m concerned it is one of the black marks on Canada’s history.
