Sonning Cutting : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sonning Cutting
Sonning Cutting is on the original Great Western Railway built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.〔(Building the Great Western Railway ), (Reading History Trail ), UK.〕 It is to the east of Reading station and to the west of Twyford station near the village of Sonning in Berkshire, England. The railway's originally planned route had been around the north of Sonning Hill past the village. But because of local objections the railway bypassed the village in a cutting, over a mile long and up to sixty feet deep, through the hill, giving a more direct route between Twyford and Reading.〔(Sonning Cutting ), (Network Rail ), UK.〕 ==Construction== The cutting was hand-dug with no machinery and the spoil removed in wheelbarrows and horse-drawn carts. It took two years to complete and several people were killed in the process. The line was opened on 30 March 1840.
