I am no longer posting new puzzles to this blog. For all of my Sudoku puzzles, old and new, please visit Sudoku in another section of this website. I will still create and offer new puzzles, in batches of a couple of hundred, once a week or so.
Sudoku #32

Today in history, 202 years ago, the first public railway started operation south of London, England. The Surrey Iron Railway was used to haul bulk freight between the Thames and the industrial area along the River Wandle to the south. The trains were not pulled by locomotives, but rather by horses. Steam locomotives would come into common use only a few short years later.
Over the subsequent two centuries, the railways revolutionized the world. Trains would be used not just for freight, but also by passengers. It was the railroads that opened up western North America to settlers. In particular, Canada ended up the way it did largely because of the railways.
Today, the railways are still an important part of daily life in many parts of the world. In my home city, Toronto, tens of thousands of commuters ride to work on either TTC subway trains or on GO commuter trains.
If you're taking a train to work and you're looking for something to do, why not solve a Sudoku puzzle?
