This detailed history shows just how the GWR earned its moniker, 'God's Wonderful Railway'. A choice book on perhaps the best loved and most publicised transport system in the world.

Product Description

Possibly the best-loved and most publicized transport system in the world, the GWR is a legend in the world of locomotives. This detailed history shows just how the GWR earned its moniker, "God's Wonderful Railway."

The editors have compiled an incredible volume, packed with memories and photographs that recall the locomotives, branch lines, summer Saturday peak traffic, GWR narrow gauge, and more to create a vivid picture of a unique time and place.

Inevitably, a book covering 150 years of any major industrial or commercial organisation is going to be superficial in places. That said, this is a very creditable effort at peering into the nooks and crannies of "God's Wonderful Railway." It's quite profusely illustrated and worth the price for that alone.
