Part of the respected Drake International Railroad Series, this comprehensive volume covers the extensive history of railways in New Zealand up through 1972. It charts the network's development from the earliest horse-drawn mineral lines of the 1860s through the growth of early commercial transit services, culminating in the establishment of a unified, national State system. Written for both historians and train enthusiasts, the text is heavily supplemented with maps, black-and-white photographs, detailed diagrams, and comprehensive technical data.
