The denizens of the nineteenth century, who were used to traveling by stagecoach or horseback (and consequently had time to "savor" their journey and contemplate the surrounding landscape), suddenly found themselves remarkably dissociated from their surroundings while sitting in a railcar. The railroad knows only points of departure and destination. That in-between, or travel space, which it was possible to 'savor' while using the slow, work-intensive eotechnical form of transport, disappeared on the railroads. N the one hand, the railroad opened up new spaces that were not as easily accessible before on the other, it did so by destroying space, namely the space between points. Thus, Schivelbusch describes two contradictory sides of the same process: Additionally, as the railroad network expanded and its reach lengthened, ever more distant places became newly and widely accessible. The diminished time it took to cross the distance between two spatial locations (such as two cities) by railway meant that these locations no longer seemed so distant, even though the distance between them remained unaltered. Schivelbusch notes that the “annihilation of space and time” was the early nineteenth-century characterization of the effect of railroad travel, due to the speed the new means of transportation was able to achieve. Per the publisher, "Schivelbusch discusses the ways in which our perceptions of distance, time, autonomy, speed, and risk were altered by railway travel." In other words, Schivelbusch describes how the railroad not only transformed the natural landscape but also our very perceptual experience of nature itself.
