Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Love `em or hate `em you can´t get away from trains in the UK. Everywhere you go from the biggest city to the most solitary spot you´re sure to find new generation rolling stock or ancient relics to remind you of Britain´s great railway heritage not too far away if you look hard enough. In Praise Of Rails is a collection of fifty railway-related poetic gems that will inspire you to find out more about the memorable locomotives, events, people and places that have shaped our island race's unique obsession with all things trains, that began with the starch-shirted days of Stephenson's Rocket and still survives today with the sleek and sexy Eurostar. *Cover illustrations by John Wardle.
