Description

Tracks Across the Isthmus by David Lowe. 'A Centennial History of the Building of Auckland's First Railway. Auckland's first railway was planned at the time when the need for reliable communication was very great, but when it was opened to traffic public enthusiasm for the project had waned and the people of Auckland were using improved roads and the services offered over them. Nevertheless the railway brought much development and expansion to the city and despite shortcomings, readily pointed out by the press, trains were well patronised and fully justified the labour and turmoil that preceeded the line's completion'. This is the story of those events. From the introduction of this book.
