Trains have played an important role in shaping lives, changing geography and writing history. Whether you pine for the romantic age of the steam engine, thrill at the speeds of today's superfast trains, dream of travelling on the world's great long-distance rail journeys, or yearn to take the narrow-gauge 'Toy Train' up to the tea plantations of Darjeeling, this book offers you a whistle-stop tour of all that is fun and interesting about the intriguing story and ongoing excitement of train travel. So hop on board, sit back, and enjoy the ride! AUTHOR: Ray Hamilton is a freelance writer and editor, whose lifelong passions are travel, languages and history. He has edited books on a wide range of subjects, including politics, history, travel, sport, gangland violence and birdwatching!
