Wonderful historic images celebrating the variety of railways around the world over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Historical Railways around the World is a carefully curated selection of vintage railway photos from all around the world. It was composed in the spirit of the time-honored phrase that a picture is worth a thousand words, and transports the reader back to the golden age of steam locomotives in a stunning array of exotic and obscure locales. Using these stunning photographs, Alon Siton revisits a period in history where the railways stood at the center of global events, and celebrates the power and variety of the world's locomotives.
