Fastest Trains in the World

0 - Default Title
Description
This book is the first comprehensive account of all world railway speed records attained since 1900, and of the public high speed passenger services that have been developed from them, up to today's Japanese Shinkansen, British 'Inter-city 125' and tomorrow's French 160mph Trains Grand Vitesse. Geoffrey Freeman Allen, an expert in contemporary railway development, lucidly explains for the layman the technical and financial problems involved in stepping up the pace of the world's inter-city expresses. The result is both a unique reference book, and enthralling narrative and a valuable contribution to the understanding of today's transport policy issues. The text is enhanced by a superb collection of illustrations gathered from around the world.
