Steam Trails: Life Viewed from the Guard's Van
This latest book from the NZ Railway & Locomotive Society is a wonderful story of life on the railways, not from the front but from the rear. Life viewed from the guard's van provided a completely different view. Norman Junge spent ten years as a guard on the Midland Line and his story and accompanying photographs make wonderful reading.
This book is available to our current financial members for the special price of $39 deleivered to your mailbox in New Zealand. Go to this link to order.
