6 The attempt to use railway tracks as a proxy for industrialisation seems just as problematic on operational/empirical grounds. For example, profoundly rural 19th and early 20th century societies, such as Ireland and India, among others, had highly advanced railway systems but were not industrialised at all. Thus Ireland was “one of the first European countries to rail-roadise” having “65 miles of track in 1845, 1,000 in 1857, 2,000 in 1872 and, with 3,500 by 1914, boasted one of the densest networks in the world.” See T. Garvin, 2003, Preventing the Future (Dublin, Gill and Macmillan: 88).
