GALLOPING SAUSAGE AND OTHER TRAIN CURIOSITIES (PB)

The formative years of Britain's railway network produced a host of ideas, activities, and characters, quite a few of which now seem not only highly unusual, but sometimes little short of ridiculous. Weird schemes and designs, extravagant behaviour, reckless competition, and larger-than-life characters all featured in the genuine struggle of the railway system to evolve. This book, written by ex-railwaymen Geoff and Ian Body, captures over 150 entertaining snippets, stories, and strange and unusual facts from an ample supply of railway curiosities.
