Full Description
An illustrated celebration of thirty-six of the world's greatest train journeys - rich in romance, history, and adventure - for anyone dreaming of their next rail escape.
Spanning six continents, the journeys range from epic, multi-day odysseys to delightful local rides, with a detailed text and commissioned illustration for each to capture the simple joys of rail travel. Discover the rural delights of Japan's Gonō Line, the joys of Swiss mountain trains, the awe-inspiring scenery of crossing Norway by rail, or the mile-munching routes that cross the US, Canada and Australia.
Learn what to watch out for along the way of each of these journeys, marvel at the remarkable engineering behind them, and soak up the geography, heritage, and quiet luxury that makes each unique.
