From the great cathedral-like railways stations of the steam age to obscure lines built through spectacular landscapes to open up countries before the advent of motorised road transport, this book is a celebration of our lost railway heritage & the lines that can no longer be travelled.
Through stunning images, Lost Railway Journeys evokes the romance & drama of these journeys, taking the reader as close as they can possibly get to this lost world of dining cars, sleeping cars, station porters & international rail travel.
Organised by continent, all of these routes have stories to tell & the lost journeys are captured in the old postcards & posters that accompany photographs drawn from collections & archives across the world.
