Our Home Railways: How They Began and How They Are Worked (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Our Home Railways: How They Began and How They Are Worked

The illustrations are over 300 in number, and include a series of coloured plates of engines. Carriages, and armorial bearings from photographs, pictures, and transfers. In many cases the photographs were specially taken for the work, and the most cordial acknowledgments are due to the managers, locomotive superintendents, engineers, and others who have so kindly assisted in its preparation, and who are far too numerous to be thanked individually, as the list would extend to several pages and contain the higher staff of every company it has been possible to include.
