Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Boys Book of Railways
The last excursion upon which I had the Enjoyment of playing the part of guide to my readers took us, in thought at least, upon the sea. In the present volume I invite them to come back again to dry land and the railway, with a view to our studying together a little fur ther those principles and fascinating details of railway working whose fringe we just touched upon in the Boys' Book of Locomotives. My thanks are due to those readers of my first two books who have been good enough to write to me about them. And I should like to add that it is always a great pleasure to hear from readers, especially those who want to ask questions. I must, however, ask them to forgive me ii, in the exigencies of a fairly busy life, the answer be sometimes rather delayed.
