Official history of the Swiss Railway system, issued in 1996 to celebrate the railroad's jubilee. This sumptuous book provides an authoritative history of the importance of rail service in the cultural history of the nation. The phenomenal rise of the railways from its modest beginnings in the first half of the nineteenth century to the impressive system that exists today is carefully described. Yet, while the technical progress is clearly explained, it is not the book's main topic: rather, the emphasis is on the significance of the railways on Swiss society, culture and the economy. Illustrated throughout with lithographs, engravings, photographs (both black and white and color), and maps.
Hardcover with dust jacket. Very good, clean, solid copy.
