18 OCTOBER IN HISTORY:
1867 The United States took possession of Alaska after purchasing it from Russia for $7.2 million. The event is celebrated annually in that State as Alaska Day.
1869 Lithgow, New South Wales – The ZigZag Railway, on the western side of the Blue Mountains, was opened to provide rail access between Sydney and inland districts. It was a major engineering achievement at the time, but operating difficulties influenced a decision to construct a bypass line in 1908. The Zig Zag railway closed upon completion of the bypass in 1910.
In 1972 a volunteer group was established to re-lay the track on the Zig Zag railway, but difficulties in obtaining locomotives and rolling stock from the New South Wales railways led to a decision to use a gauge of 3ft 6ins, as used in Queensland, Tasmania and South Australia, to allow use of stock from those States.
1922 London, England – The British Broadcasting Company (now a Corporation) was founded by a consortium with the aim of establishing a network of radio transmitters to provide a national broadcasting service.
