Yet consider the extraordinarily glamorousand comfortable South African Blue Train and Australia's Queenslander as well as theelectrified network of meter-gauge mountain railways in Switzerland that run with aprecision similar to that of the country's famed timepieces. Often used to penetratethe most challenging and breathtaking terrain that larger trains are unable toreach, narrow-gauge railways offer even the most seasoned of travelers an experienceto remember. Karl Zimmermann, railroad author and accomplished photographer, chronicles his journeys aboard these rarest of trains. Individual chapters weavehistory and travelogue, complemented by more than 100 color illustrations. Theresult is a spirited tribute to the world's most charismatic railways.
