The nightmare of three different gauges, the daunting challenge of building railways across vast open spaces often with no water supplies, the follies of railway lines that were rarely used: all this is the saga of Australian railways, the sheer hard work and often suffering of those who gave their life's service to the railways. Brimming with anedotes and colorful stories. Australian Railways: Their Life and Times documents the old, the odd and the now forgotten. Complete with rare historic photographs.
