Description

The permanent way is a principal feature of all railways, but is little explored.

Jim Pike's illustrated history fills this gap in railway literature.

He investigates the origins and evolution of track from the earliest wooden rails to the welded steel used today.

He looks at engineering developments, at methods of manufacture, and at successful innovations over the last 200 years.

This account is full of fascinating insights into this important but neglected topic.

It is written in an engaging, non-technical style, and will be illuminating reading and reference for anyone who loves railways and is intrigued by their history.
