A compendium of new writing telling of little known journeys and uncovered histories of railway routes around the world - from the UK, Europe and Africa to North America, the Middle East and Asia. This collection will appeal to general readers around travel, history and railways, as well as readers of post-colonial writings, geo-political explorations or global family histories.
From the Burmese highlands to the British Pennines, from the history of a precipitous coastal stretch of Indian railroad to a cross-continent odyssey on African railways, this is a new way of exploring the world and its history, by train.
The Untold Railways Stories is a testament to both the joy and impact of train travel - to the ambition and ingenuity, and also to destruction and sacrifice within the history of passenger railways - and is published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of first passenger railway line.
