'Old Zambia's Railways and More'

[John Ashworth]

'Old Zambia's Railways and More', Shepherd, GBP 10.95

Interesting, if unusual, book on the building and early days of the railway from the Victoria Falls. through Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) to Elisabethville in the then Belgium Congo. The story is told in 84 B&W photos, some full page; a good number of these focus on scenes along the line, and native life, as much as they do on railway scenes, but they do give a good idea what life building and running a railway in central Africa a hundred years ago and more was like. 48 landscape format pages.
