ABOUT
This is the first encyclopedia to chart the progress of Britain's railway development.
It begins with primitive 17th-century wagonways, fully considers the eras of horse, steam, diesel, and electric traction, and then charts the change from private to public ownership.
Finally, it describes in detail the privatizations of the late 1990s. Over six hundred entries by eighty-eight expert contributors provide a comprehensive and unique reference to all aspects of railways.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome illustrations and maps.
