Description
French Railways: A-Z explores the diverse and fascinating world of France's railways. The country's railway network is unique in that it consists of two separate systems: the standard-gauge network of major companies and the metre-gauge network of local rural railways.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of this diversity, covering topics such as pre-nationalisation railway companies, locomotives, freight and passenger trains, famous lines, tourist railways, engineering marvels, accidents, and more. With a mix of historic postcard views and photographs by the author, French Railways: A-Z is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in railways.
