Description
Embark on a visual journey through train travel's rich history and embrace the sense of adventure as the world whizzes by. This non-fiction title tells tales of the rails. Featuring 13 impressive train routes from around the globe, we learn about Japan's record-breaking Bullet train, then slow down a little to experience an overnight journey on one of Britain's last sleeper carriages. Studying where and why these routes exist, and discovering facts about the people that keep the engines running, this fully illustrated book is a nostalgic ode to the golden age of train travel.
