About this product

Product Information

The main sections in this book follow the routes of the principal broad gauge companies, which formed the GSR, and another part of the books is devoted to the extensive narrow gauge network, which the company inherited. Innovations introduced by the company such as Drewry petrol railcars, Sentinel and Clayton steam railmotors and the Drumm battery trains, are examined. Other sections deal with the locomotives and carriages built by the company and its bus and road transport interests. The story is set against the background of the depressed economic conditions of the GSR era, which led to retrenchment and line closures.
