Product Description
The first of three volumes that illustrate a tour of Spanish railways and tramways in summer 1963, just before the traditional rail scene - which resembled that of North America around 1920 - was swept away by modernization. Volume One focuses on Catalonia, including broad-gauge steam activity, the narrow-gauge "toy trains" of Gerona, the remarkable rural tramway of Mataro, and Barcelona with its huge city network and American-style interurbans. The text gives background on Spanish railway history and the specific enterprises covered.
