The Not-So-Romantic Railways: Crashes and Accidents explores the disastrous side of the railways and how they shaped the railway world.
From derailments that shook entire communities to mechanical failures that exposed the limits of 19th-century engineering, this book dives into some of the most dramatic crashes and accidents to ever strike the steam railways across the globe. With a sharp eye for storytelling and a knack for making history accessible, Lickley reveals how these disasters shaped public perception, safety standards, and the myth of railway romance itself.
Perfect for readers aged 8 to 18, this book balances vivid detail with clarity, making it ideal for curious minds, budding historians, and anyone who’s ever wondered what really happened when things went off the rails.
Whether you're a railway enthusiast or just love a good true story, this 108-page read will challenge your assumptions and keep you turning pages. Part history, part cautionary tale, and all fascinating.
