This timeless classic by renowned railway historian Omer Lavallee covers two dozen different narrow-gauge railway systems spread over 25 fully embellished chapters. More than 250 rare photographs, including two sections in full-colour, complement authoritative descriptions, charts, and listings. Also included are dozens of informative line drawings, concise maps of each line, and a broader map of Canada pinpointing the exact location within the national context.
Long sought by collectors, historians, and railway enthusiasts, this timeless work, first published in 1972, has been greatly expanded by the author's long-time friend and collaborator, editor Ronald Ritchie.
