Description
The metre-gauge railways of South East Asia offer a unique glimpse into the region's railway heritage. This book explores the modern national railways of Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam, revealing how they are evolving alongside their historic routes. With a wealth of previously unpublished photographs, Peter Green takes readers on a journey through these rapidly changing railways, where traditional diesel traction and semaphore signalling still exist alongside modernising infrastructure. From varied landscapes to interesting carriage designs, this book provides a fascinating insight into the railways of South East Asia.
