Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the newly formed country of
Czechoslovakia built an ambitious national rail network out of what
remained of the obsolete Habsburg system. While conceived as a
means of knitting together a young and ethnically diverse
nation-state, these railways were by their very nature a
transnational phenomenon, and as such they simultaneously
articulated and embodied a distinctive Czechoslovak
cosmopolitanism. Drawing on evidence ranging from government
documents to newsreels to train timetables, Iron Landscapes gives a
nuanced account of how planners and authorities balanced these two
imperatives, bringing the cultural history of infrastructure into
dialogue with the spatial history of Central Europe.
