The holiday-maker, rail-fan, businessman and armchair traveller will all enjoy the wide scope of the exciting railway journeys in this book. The journeys include the line from New York to Florida, passing through a dozen States: five spectacular Canadian routes, ranging from Hudson Bay to the Caribou Mountains beyond the Rockies: from the delta of the Nile to its source in Uganda: from the High Andes to the Caribbean and from the Mediterranean up to Jerusalem. Also featured are the "Ivory Bullets" of Japan, now the fastest trains in the world and the famous "Ghan" in Australia's 'red heart'.
Famous lines in Europe also enjoy the author's spotlight, from the 'Rheingold route' to the tracks across the Great Hungarian Plain, and the line to the West Country, while India's vast system with its great steam expresses and its narrow gauge mountain trains are vividly described.
Covering at least 100,000 miles a year all over the world K. Westcott Jones is one of the best known and most widely read travel writers of today. He is the author of the outstandingly successful GREAT RAILWAY JOURNEYS OF THE WORLD.
