Railways Volume 1 (Studies in Transport History)

Each volume in this series is a collection of articles in the study of transport history, selected from a leading journal in the field. Each contains articles selected by a distinguished scholar, as well as an authorative introduction by the volume editor. Individually they form a foundation to the study of the history of a mode of transport; together they make a library of modern research in the field. This volume includes articles on such topics as railways and their economic growth; the State and Indian railway performance, 1870-1920; the capitalisation of Britian's railways, 1830-1914; and railways and land values.
