Singleton, C. C. and Burke, David. Railways of Australia.
Sydney: Angus & Robertson Ltd, [1963].
Octovo, (hardcover), black cloth, gilt letters, [160] pp. Former owner insrciption; otherwise, Fine, in a Near-Fine dust jacket with slight edgewear. Illus. ÔThe Australian railways are a vast enterprise. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, they handle a staggering volume of passengers and freight. Their story is told, in text and pictures, against a romantic background -- the battle of the broken gauges, the classic beauty of some of the greatest steam power, the enormous capacity of the all-conquering diesel, the glamour of the Ôtitled' trains, and the nostalgic appeal of the lesser known private lines. Railways of Australia will delight everyone who likes trains -- from the keenest enthusiast to those who just like hearing a whistle call on a frosty night.'
