The railway, a significant milestone in Liverpool's transportation history, was opened by the Marquis of Salisbury on the 4th of February that year. The passenger railway, which ran for seven miles through the bustling docks, revolutionized the way goods and people were transported within the city. The Pier Head Station, located at the heart of Liverpool's docklands, is depicted in meticulous detail in this historical engraving. The imposing structure, with its ornate architecture and intricate design, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Mersey River and the busy docks. The overhead electric wires, a testament to the railway's modern technology, crisscross above the station, adding to its unique character.

The railway not only made it easier and faster to move goods in and out of the docks but also provided a convenient and efficient means of transportation for passengers. The railway's impact was felt beyond Liverpool, as it paved the way for the development of other electric railways across the country. This engraving provides a glimpse into Liverpool's rich history and offers a fascinating insight into the city's transportation system over a century ago.
