Starting with the very first industrial lines, and continuing through to the TGV, the history of every line, both main and secondary, is recounted in detail. There are special chapters on the mining industry and railways at Mont eau-les-Mines; Le Creusot and the Schneiders; the steam depots of the d partement; historic autorails, and the numerous metre gauge lines. With over 400 photographs, old postcard views, maps, diagrams, and other illustrations, this volume is bound to appeal with all those with an interest in French railways. |
