After a good success in designing the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Isambard Kingdom Brunel(IKB) had been appointed as Engineer of the Bristol Railway formed in Bristol. The plan for constructing a railway between London and Bristol had been proceeded in London and the Great Western Railway company (GWR) had been officially formed in London in 1833. IKB became the Chief Engineer of the GWR. In this report, the author introduce IKB's works in the GWR: Maidenhead brick bridge, Bristol railway station, Box tunnel, Sonning cutting, Royal Albert Bridge, etc. IKB laid the Great Western lines with the broad-gauge truck of seven feet in order to ensure much faster, steadier and more comfortable ride rather than the narrow-gauge.
