Description
Lost Railways of the World by Nigel Welbourn is a comprehensive collection of the world's disused railways. Spanning almost fifty years of research and travel, this book brings together a wealth of information on the fortunes of lost railways from every country with significant disused lines. From the Florida Keys to the Khyber Pass Railway, the author shares stories of some of the world's most remarkable lost railways, including the seven-mile-long sea bridge in the Florida Keys and the rugged mountain splendor of the Khyber Pass Railway. The book also delves into quirky tales from lost railways, such as a phantom bridge that disappeared, a line destroyed by molten lava, and one that conveyed giant turtles. With its unique blend of history, geography, and fascinating anecdotes, Lost Railways of the World is a captivating look at the world's forgotten railway network.
