The Galloping Sausage: 150 Steam Railway Events and Stories The history of Britain's railway network is a story of eccentric ideas, wild schemes, and larger-than-life characters. From the early days of the railway system, a host of unusual incidents and outcomes emerged, shaped by factors like the weather and the complexity of railway operation.

Written by two ex-railwaymen, it offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the history of the railways, highlighting the people, events, and experiences that shaped the industry. With its rich collection of railway curiosities, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of the railways.
