It covers everything from the 'iron horses' of the Wild West and Stephenson's Rocket to the luxurious Orient Express and today's high-speed vehicles. Step-by-step projects look at the technology behind trains - learn about forces and motion, build a bridge, construct a tunnel, and even make your own model locomotive and railway track. Stunning photographs and detailed illustrations evoke the spirit of train travel. Railways revolutionized the day-to-day lives of ordinary people around the world.
