Product Description
Book Description
The West Highland existed as a separate company for only nineteen years, including the five years it too to build. It never had a general manager or a locomotive superintendent, yet the West Highland had, and still has, an atmosphere all its own. Despite amalgamations and nationalisation, the West Highland remains unique... there is nothing quite like it in Britain. This book is for armchair reading and for reference, and to bring with you on this magnificent line. P.J.G. Ransom has updated this classic history to reflect important developments in recent years.
Synopsis
One of a series of books telling the story of the railways of the Scottish Highlands, this book deals specifically with the West Highland Railway. It tells the story of the struggle to construct the line through mountain passes, across deep ravines and over the wilderness of the Moor of Rannoch.
