Originally published in the late 1800s, this book is a comprehensively detailed look at the great railway pioneers, giving particular focus to the Stephensons and their achievements. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
