This stunning book is a glorious celebration of all things train and
track.
Packed with stunning photography, Train catalogues the development of
trains from early steam to diesel engines and electric locomotives,
explores in detail iconic trains such as the Palace on Wheels and the
Orient Express, and chronicles the social, political, and cultural
backdrop against which railways were built the world over.
Profiling the best loved railways and rail journeys of all time - from
the Union-Pacific Railroad to the Trans-Siberian Railway - and the
pioneers of train and track - from "Father of the Railways" George
Stephenson to engineering legend Isambard Kingdom Brunel and
Métro-maestro Fulgence Bienvenüe - Train is perfect for anyone with an
interest in trains, locomotives, and the history of the railway.
