In 'Marshall's Book of Railways' will be found a rich collection of hitherto unpublished photographs, many from overseas. The fascinating stories of inter-company rivalries, their struggles for supremacy and many of their achievements are written by a distinguished list of contributors in vivid and concise language.

This is a book you will want to keep handy, for it can absorb you for hours, or provide momentary pleasure.

Did you know, for example, that five distinct gauges operate in Australia? Are you aware of the bitter wrangling in this country more than 100 years ago between the protagonists of the broad and standard gauges, and the implications had the broad gauge been retained and the standard abandoned? Can you imagine the Underground relying upon steam traction for its motive power?

However wide your knowledge of railway history, it is safe to say you cannot fail to find further enrichment in the fresh information and abundance of pictures gathered together in this new presentation of aspects of the world's railways.
