| Great Railway Journeys of the East: Evocative Accounts of Legendary Train Routes |
| By : Max Wade-Matthews |
Great Railway Journeys of the East encounters 49 phenomenal routes experienced first-hand. There are long, short, old, and new routes, some famous and some less traveled. Many have been preserved due to their important historical links or fantastic scenery, notably the route through India's once hazardous Khyber Pass, the Eastern and Oriental Express from Singapore to Bangkok, and the Trans-Siberian Express which travels 5792 miles (9611 km) from Moscow to Vladivostock. For lovers of speed and technology there are the futuristic bullet trains of Japan; at the same time, lovingly preserved steam locomotives make slower-paced journeys through the Himalayas. This book will whet the appetites of locomotive enthusiasts everywhere.
