Long before Brexit, the Common Market and even the Commonwealth,
Britannia truly did rule the waves. Perhaps more unsung is the fact
that she also ruled the rails over much of the world, for Britain's
engineers effectively exported the Industrial Revolution and
specifically the railway around the globe. This was especially true
in that forerunner of the Commonwealth, the British Empire. In
those parts of the world that were coloured pink on schoolroom
maps, the rapidly expanding colonial railways were supplied by
British companies like Neilson Reid, Bagnall, Kitson, Cravens and
Cammell-Laird. This book tells the story of the expansion of the
railways of the British Empire in Australasia and other areas
beyond the Indian subcontinent and Africa, featuring stunning
photographs, contemporary maps, posters, travel brochures and
extracts from other interesting documents.
