Rails Across Europe : Eastern and Southern Europe

The two volumes covering Rails Across Europe are divided into one covering the North and West of the continent, the other dealing with the South and East. The photos were taken by David Cable, well-regarded author of several photographic albums of trains throughout the world, supplemented by a few taken by friends.

The books show pictures of modern traction mainly from the 1980s up to the current era, showing the huge variety of classes - locomotives as well as multiple units - and the panoply of colour schemes that continue to grow. The photos were taken both at railway stations and in the countryside and give a wide range of locations.

The first volume covers Scandinavia, the Baltic states, Germany, Poland, the Benelux countries, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
This second volume deals with France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and the majority of Central European and Balkan countries, which had been in the former Soviet Eastern Block.

Das goldene Zeitalter der Eisenbahn - Die Epoche der Luxuszüge 1850 bis 1960

Before cars and airplanes began their triumphant advance, the railway was the uncrowned queen of long-distance travel. This era began with the construction of the major long-distance routes in the second half of the 19th century and only ended with the start of the Second World War.
But even today, there are still luxurious passenger trains in many countries around the world, which have extended the golden age of the railway into the 21st century.

Eisenbahnreisen - Fernweh auf Schienen

A train journey usually also involves a feeling of adventure - whether on board the Orient Express from London to Istanbul, on the Rocky Mountaineer through the Canadian Rocky Mountains or on the Serra Verde Express through the Brazilian rainforest.

Learn about the Alaska Railroad, which carries freight and passengers along the Alaskan coast; or the 7, 000-kilometer Trans-Siberian Railway, which crosses Mongolia and Russia from Beijing to Moscow. With 200 outstanding color photographs, this book takes you to some of the most historic, spectacular and remote places in the world.
