Fascinating collection of black and white photos showing Indian steam locomotives in action (the 1980s) just before they were replaced by more modern diesel and electric power. Some of the engines date back to the 1870s and all of them reflect the imperial era with a strong British flavour which is also seen in the architecture, signalling, and rolling stock. Covers the North Eastern Railway (Nepal Railway), Northern Railway, Western Railway, Central Railway, South Eastern Railway, South Central Railway, and the Southern Railway as well as a brief look at Bangladesh and Pakistan. All of the photos are intelligently and engagingly captioned. With a few maps. 96 pages.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
