从1893年11月金达上书李鸿章请设立铁路学堂，到1896年5月金达再次上书，再到同年11月终于获准，中国第一所铁路学堂的创设几经延宕，历经波折。学堂招生后，又经历了被谋求并入北洋大学堂到摆脱合并独立办学的曲折。在这背后，有英、俄争夺中国路权的斗争，有李鸿章、王文韶、盛宣怀等晚清大员对中国近代铁路建设的不同认知与官场纠葛，堪称那个大变动时代政治的一个缩影，为今人审视晚清近代化的艰辛历程提供了一个视角。

From Kinder＇s first petition to Li Hongzhang in November, 1893 to establish a railway college to his second petition in May 1896, and to the final approval in November of the same year, it takes a protracted twists and turns to set up the first Chinese railway college. After its enrollment, it underwent again a tortuous course. It was first designed to merge into Peiyang University and later became an independent college. Behind all of these there were conflicts between the British and the Russian Empires and also diverse understanding of China＇s modernization course among the major officials in late Qing Dynasty like Li Hong-zhang, Wang Shao-wen and Sheng Xuan-huai and so on, which provides the political epitome in the era of great changes and offers a perspective to understand the hard journey of the late Qing Dynasty＇ modernization.
