Irish Pictorial Railway History
- Ireland Volume 1
- Railway History In Pictures
- Each part of this two volume work forms a self contained unit but together they give the complete story of rail transport in Ireland, from the horse-operated waggonways of the canal era to the diesel-electric expresses of today. From thousands of illustrations in private and public collections, the author has selected some three hundred, many previously unpublished, and in linking them with accurately detailed narrative, Dr McCutcheon has produced a book not only of enthralling interest to railway enthusiasts, but also illustrative of a phase in the social and economic development of Ireland.
- Volume 1 deals mainly with the coming of the railways and includes sections on early locomotives; railway architecture and design (pre-1870); construction of the Dublin-Belfast link; minor companies and branch line workings; narrow gauge railways; steam tramways and horse traction; accidents and locomotive development from 1860-1900.
