There are many entries on all aspects of rairoads, their history and technology. The main encyclopedic section is framed by essays on their development and operating practice in the front; and by data, maps, glossary, and bibliography in the back. This reference book should be part of every railfan's collection. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
