This is a review of the newest edition, and given the deterioration between editions that occurred with, e.g., the Ancient Egypt volume in the Eyewitness collection, I had low expectations. But this was really excellent. It must be something about trains.

Traces the development of trains from the first Babylonian rutways to the elctromagnetic, driverless tarins of today and describes how trains are built and operated.
