Více o knize
The railroad, invented over two centuries ago, has contributed to economic and social development first in Europe, and then other continents. Trains have progressively evolved to reduce distances by attaining ever greater speeds, while becoming more comfortable and, above all, safer. A renewed concern for quality of life has brought railroads back into favor in many countries. They have experienced a renaissance in suburban areas, while the reintroduction of trams has brought them into the heart of the city. High speed has also re-established trains as a competitive means transport over longer distances.The 1001 photos in this book recreate the wonderful adventure that is the railroad all over the world.
