WHEN I was asked by Mr. J. C. Reynolds, of Frederick Muller Limited, to write a sequel to Unusual Railways I had grave doubts as to whether there were enough unusual railways about which information could be obtained. Mr. Wilson and I had dug deeply into the history of such schemes when we were writing the earlier book.

More Unusual Railways has therefore been a research project rather than just a book, but in these days when new transport methods are being advocated in considerable numbers, especially for urban transport, it is perhaps a good thing that it should have been done.

Every endeavour has been made to achieve accuracy, and, where possible, contemporary accounts have been used. Where these accounts differ, as they too often do, I have used my judgement as to which account seems the most probable.

If some of the schemes in this book are a little removed from the general conception of railways, most of them have recognizable railway characteristics-and we are, after all, discussing unusual railways.
