Journey through the history of the railways A fascinating journey
through the history of railways, packed with first-hand accounts of
innovation, triumph, and tragedy. From the earliest steam engine to
the high-speed bullet trains of today, A Short History of the
Railway reveals the hidden stories of railway history across the
world - the inspired engineering; the blood, sweat, and tears that
went into the construction of the tracks; the ground-breaking
innovations behind the trains that travelled along them; and the
triumphs and tragedies of the people who made the railway what it
is. Chart the history of the Trans-Siberian railway, the Orient
Express, and Maglev trains and the impact of world events on the
development of trains and the railway. Explore the pioneering
railway lines that crossed continents, the key trains of each era,
and the locomotives that changed the world. A riveting narrative
packed with photographs, diagrams, and maps to illustrate and
illuminate, this is the biography of the machines that carried us
into the modern era. Previously published as The Iron Road, A Short
History of the Train makes perfect reading for train buffs.
