Didn’t the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the pyramids, and the Aqueducts come long before Choo-choo Charlie? Well, technically speaking, the Code of Hammurabi specified not only the first civil penalties for bad engineering and bad designs in an earthquake zone, but the actual physical penalties (death if an occupant was killed in a falling house!) as well.
It is sobering to walk the mountain passes in Spain on the original Roman cobblestones of the original Roman roads.
