About the book
From Myanmar's highlands to the British Pennines, from slow travel between coffee plantations in Borneo to a cross-continent odyssey on African railways, from the pioneers of the American West to European trains in war, this is a new prism through which to explore human lives, and global landscapes, politics and history. A testament to both the joy and impact of train travel—to the ambition and ingenuity, and also to destruction and sacrifice within its history—published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the first passenger railway line.
