Urban Rail Down Under - Robert Schwandl Kartoniert (TB)

Although long-distance rail traffic is almost non-existent in Australia and New Zealand the major cities in these two countries boast excellent metropolitan railways which cover the sprawling conurbations. Trams however have only survived in a few cities among them Melbourne which has one of the largest and densest tram systems in the world. The author introduces the reader to all sorts of urban rail systems in and around Sydney (including the Sydney Monorail) Melbourne Brisbane Adelaide Perth Auckland and Wellington - and of course the heritage trams operating daily in Bendigo un d Christchurch. The book is illustrated with numerous colour photographs and detailed system maps.
