Summary

'Railway Mania' changed Victorian Scotland forever. Fortunes were made and lost as rival railway promoters transformed the landscape with stations, cuttings, tunnels and bridges. In fact Scotland had its own railway system well before a link was established with England. Scottish railways had a 'flavour', evident in its engineering and architecture, the more innovative of which attained 'icon' status, at a local, national and even international level. This book documents today's railway and that of an earlier age, some of which has been repurposed abandoned or demolished, but primarily it's a celebration of the regions railway its people, history and legacy.
