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
of the 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 the Indian subcontinent,
featuring stunning photographs, contemporary maps, posters, travel
brochures and extracts from other interesting documents.
