Through more than 400 old postcards and old plans of

networks, Clive Lamming tells us, with passion and knowledge, the story of

railway a little over a century ago. Traction, trains, tracks

and signals, stations and their services, fixed installations and

works of art, the first strikes, accidents, tourist trains...

A complete inventory of the railway world in 1900.

Supported by the Clive Lamming collection, private collections and

funds from professional traders from all over France, this book presents

many unpublished documents.
