This book explores some of the reasons why railways have been and remain, so deeply interesting to so many people. From their beginnings in Britain it was clear that railways were going to play a most important part in changing the lives of people around the world.

Describes the evolution of railways, their early history, the famous engineers, the moving of goods and people and the modern high speed trains. But this is not jut a book about the natural and social environments and their development was not without controversy.

Sydney Wood is a Senior Lecturer in History at Aberdeen College of Education.
