The Metropolitan Railway was the very first underground railway in the world, and opened to the public on this day in 1863. It served London from then until 1933, for 70 years. It was also known as the Met. Former Met tracks and stations are used by the London Underground's Metropolitan, Circle, District, Hammersmith & City, Piccadilly, Jubilee and Victoria lines, and by Chiltern Railways and Great Northern.

Its main line headed northwest from the financial district in the City of London to what would later become Middlesex. Its first line connected the main-line railway termini at Paddington, Euston, and King's Cross to the City. The first section was built beneath the New Road using cut-and-cover between Paddington and King's Cross and in tunnel and cuttings beside Farringdon Road from King's Cross to near Smithfield, near the City. It opened to the public on 10 January 1863 with gas-lit wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives, the world's first passenger-carrying designated underground railway.

    My mom doesn’t want to sell her cows in stardew valley bc she’s afraid the next farm or whatever place they go won’t treat them well lol

        Funnily consistent behavior for her bc she fosters dogs and says the same thing about when they have to send them to their adopters lol

      Thats pretty cute. I never found much benefit to actually selling your farm animals, seems more profitable to just keep selling their produce, since it takes so long to get the quality up. It's not like they stop, do they?

        she doesn't really play games, in her old age she got a bit into animal crossing just to have something to do so i thought SV would be good for her since its pretty chill and she could play it on her tablet, so she's not coming at it from a logical position really lol.

        She's just finally got good at doing the mines and she's finding tending to the animals a bit cumbersome right now

          That's because they are lol...at least the last time I played. A lot of work, kinda bad interface for them, and not much profit. I usually have one of each to complete whatever community center bundles I need and then sell them.
