Book: railway, identity, design and culture

RAILWAY identity, design and culture by Keith Lovegrove

Railway to Tibet

I am currently reading this book on the building of the Railway to Tibet. Unfortunately written from a Western viewpoint, it is nevertheless an interesting account of the tremendous effort needed for such a great venture. This is one train I am going to ride one of these days.
