{"product_id":"french-railways-patrick-bennett-9781445690971","title":"French Railways: A-Z","description":"The railways of France present a uniquely interesting picture, consisting as they once did of two entirely separate but overlapping systems: the standard-gauge network of the great railway companies and the mostly metre-gauge network of the local rural railways. This book attempts to provide a comprehensive picture of this fascinating diversity. Featuring a variety of locations throughout France, subjects covered include the seven pre-nationalisation railway companies; locomotives of all types, including both the successful and the spectacular failures; freight and passenger trains; the great railway engineers; famous lines, as well as the not so famous; tourist railways; some of the great engineering marvels, such as the Viaduc du Garabit; accidents and disasters; railways in wartime; and even railways which were built but never saw a train. Using the author's own photographs as well as historic postcard views, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in railways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Bennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1445690977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445690971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 0.30d","brand":"Patrick Bennett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190860738815,"sku":"9781445690971","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f167cc27-fd78-43c7-b460-3b2a158b8bf0.jpg?v=1690872772","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/french-railways-patrick-bennett-9781445690971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
