Review of 'Indian Railways' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

An intricate and detailed account of building railways in India -- includes a ton of information on the hundreds of private British companies that built the railway, which later came under the management of the government of British India. Lots of interesting titbits and piles of information for the discerning and meticulous railway nerd. Point to note, it stops short of the Indian independence, so there's very little information about the present day system.
