Whilst many have been reborn int o sustainable transport roles since redundancy claimed them, others await discovery amidst nature's reclamation of these former industrial corridors. The book records the ambition, endeavour and sacrifices of the Victorian pioneers behind 100 engineering feats, with insight on how to find and explore them. Railway Wonders is a valuable companion to families seeking adventure, as well as those fascinated by our railways' rich social history and eye-catching landscape impacts. Show more
