An exciting journey along the tracks of time, in which the key stages of railway development come to life—from the first steam engines to today’s high-speed lines.
This book talks not only about technology: it shows how trains transformed the world—from the economy to culture—and will make a great gift for everyone fascinated by the history of progress and engineering ideas.
A railway is not just a way to get from point A to point B, but an entire era: a symbol of civilization moving forward. In the pages of this book, you’ll discover the fascinating story of the main lines without which modern life is already hard to imagine.
