Divided into five sections, the book documents developments and innovations in an easy-to-use format that will appeal to every railway enthusiast. The book begins with an introduction to locomotive design up to 1900, including the development of steam power from Britain and the United States to India and Latin America. The transition from steam to diesel and electric power is also examined. The book then continues to describe 95 outstanding railway journeys in all parts of the globe. This includes accounts of short journeys steeped in history, such as Stephensons' 27-km (17-mile) line from Bedford to Bletchley, as well as the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostock. Written by world experts in the field and illustrated with over 1,500 photographs, this is a book to inspire rail enthusiast and armchair traveller alike.
