With the opinion that a light railway is a pecuniary success and a possible something which might improve trade, the author explores all elements of light railway construction. The book begins with arguments for adhering to a narrower gauge to reduce cost, followed by a detailed guide to aspects of construction including alignment, land, earth work, bridge work, fencing, ballast, permanent way, rolling stock, trading and transshipment facilities, station equipment, cost, and working. The book includes practical information on how to apply for concessions to build feeder branch lines and offers a resolution from the Indian government regarding those concessions. This book will appeal to farmers, traders, light railway professionals, and government officials in charge of assessing light railway proposals and maintaining safety standards.
