Description
Explore over 70 of the world's most beautiful and historic train routes in this visually stunning guide. From the Peak Tramway in Hong Kong to the Ghan Railway in Australia, and from slate-mine turned tourist railways in the Welsh Highlands to mountainous rack railways that conquer treacherous mountain ranges, Trains takes you on a journey through some of the most intriguing and scenic railway routes from history.
Travelling through time, this book showcases passenger and freight services that have evolved from horse-drawn rail carriages to steam, diesel, and electric powered locomotives. With in-depth descriptions and high-definition photography, Trains brings these remarkable routes to life, highlighting the ingenuity and determination of those who built them.
