A compendium of fascinating and evocative new writing on railway travel and history. Telling of little known journeys and uncovered histories on railway routes around the world - from the UK, Europe and Africa to North America, the Middle East and Asia. From the Burmese highlands to the British Pennines, from the history of a precipitous coastal stretch of Indian railroad to a cross-continent odyssey on African railways, this is a new prism through which to explore human lives, and global landscapes, politics and history. The Untold Railways Stories is a testament to both the joy and impact of train travel - to the ambition and ingenuity, and also to destruction and sacrifice within the history of passenger railways - and is published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of first passenger railway line.
