Synopsis
All aboard for a journey through time and across continents!
Jam-packed with fascinating facts and bright illustrations, this is the captivating story of how trains have transformed our world.
This book showcases the railway’s incredible engineering breakthroughs – from the earliest trains used in underground mines, to the advent of the steam train, right up to the latest driverless trains and mag-lev technology.
With this complete, colourful guide to the past, present and future of the railway:
- Marvel at some of the world’s most spectacular stations
- Discover iconic train journeys like the Orient Express and the Pacific Railroad
- Learn about the trains used in social protests and during times of war
- Understand the changing role of women and people of colour in the industry
- Decode the inner workings of these magnificent machines
- Meet rail heroes and innovators including George Stephenson, Mary Elizabeth Walton and Hideo Shima
And, as well as classic locos from history, readers can also delight in record-breaking train stats and learn about sky trains, suspension railways and monorails.
But the book also explores the enormous impact that railways have had on our lives, including the development of industry and commerce, the growth of our cities – even the setting of time zones.
This is a colourful, celebratory tribute to trains. These powerful machines opened the world to people like never before, and they continue to capture hearts and imaginations today. Look no further for the perfect gift for young train enthusiasts.
