History is everywhere, and is never as complete as when it can be accessed on a part of history itself. The locomotive is one of the great steps in progress of civilisation that undoubtably connects us to land and history that was shaped by the machine itself. Although a basic form of railway, or rutway, did exist in Ancient Greek and Roman times – notably the ship trackway between Diolkos and the Isthmus of Corinth around 600 BC – it would take several thousand years before the first fare-paying passenger service was launched in the early nineteenth century. Some two hundred years on, it is possible to travel by train to some of the world's most remote and remarkable destinations, and track the many wonderful legacies of the Earth's extensive history – man-made and otherwise. From prehistoric rock formations to skyscraper cities, slow steam engines to high-speed bullet trains, let A History of the World in 500 Railway Journeys be your guide. Through its beautifully illustrated pages, and 500 awe-inspiring railway journeys, you can chart your own transcontinental itinerary through time. Chug through canyons, steam past ancient monuments, speed through cities, luxuriate in the railcars of presidents and queens, or make express connections between key historical moments or epic eras, A History of the World in 500 Railway Journeys has it all. A must-read for travellers, railfans and history buffs alike, offering inspiration and information in equal measure.

There are few finer experiences than the thrill of a great railway journey. "Great Railway Journeys of the World" describes 95 outstanding railway journeys in all parts of the globe, experienced firsthand by a team of expert writers. For luxury and romance there is nothing to touch traveling on the Orient Express, the Blue Train from Cape Town to Pretoria or the wonderful nostalgic "Palace on Wheels" in Rajistan. The many extraordinary feats of engineering described include the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostock, the Trans-Andine Railway in Chile with its 26 tunnels in 44 miles, and the Brazilian line from Santos where the carriages are still hoisted up the Serro do Mar on a rope. For lovers of the latest and fastest trains there is the high-speed line from Tokyo to Osaka, or London to Bern by Eurostar and TGV. Long or short, modern or historic, broad-gauge or narrow, each of the journeys described here will whet the appetites of rail enthusiasts everywhere. Packed with information - historical, geographical and technical - and with over 700 photographs of the world's most remarkable trains, often set against a backdrop of stunning scenery, this monumental book bears eloquent witness to the enduring romance of rail travel. -- Contains accounts of nearly 100 of the world's most legendary train journeys -- Includes such departure points and destinations as Boston, Venice, Pretoria, The Khyber Pass, Darjeeling, Fuji, Sydney, Edinburgh, and many, many more -- Comprehensively illustrated with over 700 pictures of the locomotives themselves, their stations and the tracks that links beautiful scenery with bustling metropolis.

From the great cathedral-like railways stations of the steam age to obscure lines built through spectacular landscapes to open up countries before the advent of motorised road transport, this book is a celebration of our lost railway heritage and the lines that can no longer be travelled. Through stunning images, Lost Railway Journeys from Around the World evokes the romance and drama of these journeys, taking the reader as close as they can possibly get to this lost world of dining cars, sleeping cars, station porters and international rail travel. Organised by continent, all of these routes have stories to tell and the lost journeys are captured in the old postcards and posters that accompany photographs drawn from collections and archives across the world.
