Soul of A Railway

[Philip Martin]

Les Pivnic and Charlie Lewis have a project, writing a book, "Soul of A Railway," "A photographic history of the South African Railways at the end of the steam era." to copy from Google. What I have read of its contents is extremely interesting. Here's a link: https://sites.google.com/site/soulorailway/home

Another book highly recommended in this project is "Tracks Across the Veld," by Boon Boonzaaier. From the Railway Gazette Review "The history of South Africa's railways is recounted in 349 pages, complemented by details of distances, altitudes, electrification, and bridge and tunnel statistics. There are 80 detailed maps and more than 600 colour photographs.
Unfortunately, Amazon lists it as currently unavailable.
