Description

Railways were invented to carry goods, primarily minerals. By the time of nationalisation, their role as common carrier had fully developed, with a century of use under their belt. This comprehensive handbook offers a rare insight into the transport industry's evolution. The book explores the development of railways as a common carrier, and the various types of freight they were obliged to carry. With a focus on the wagons and their role in the transport process, this handbook provides a unique perspective on the history of railways. With 159 pages and a paperback binding, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of transportation and the development of the railways.
