Description:
Iron Roads Volume III is a pictorial, carefully prepared to complement and enrich the first two volumes. Thumbnail historical reviews of the railroads discussed in the two earlier volumes are included, as well as yet another 300 images (ninety-seven in color). Selected pictures—the work of numerous photographers—represent mostly newly-discovered, unpublished material, rich in historic landscapes, railroad action, and people.
An expanded look at the sole remaining major line—the former Vermont & Massachusetts Railroad—that runs across the southern edge of the Region is included. Since Volumes I-III are intended to be an integrated work, Volume III also contains both an errata and addenda for the first two volumes and a consolidated index for all three volumes.

Description:
A full colour 120 page hardback illustrated album by renowned photographer James Waite of the narrow gauge activity in the former Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia) in the 21st Century. Yugoslavia was a popular destination for enthusiasts of narrow gauge railways in the Communist era, having an unusually lengthy network (a legacy of the Austro-Hungarian empire), and Bosnia-Hercegovina remains one of the last bastions of everyday steam working in the railway world. In this book, the author not only visits the Bosnian operations, but also illustrates how the network and the trains that operated on it, have been adapted to serve the fledgling tourist industry.

Description:
In this book, leading member of the Railway Performance Society Alan Varley discusses and analyses a lifetime of railway travel across the French Railways (SNCF) network - over a million kilometres worth! The performance of different types of train is assessed on the wide variety of routes on which they operated, giving the opportunity to see the impact of modernisation, first from steam to diesel, and latterly to the dedicated high speed lines of the Trains a Grande Vitesse (TGV).
