Sinopsis

"Dow's Dictionary of Railway Quotations" is an authoritative compendium of quotations about railways from 1608 to the present day. More than 3,400 entries are drawn from over 1,300 writers and speakers and a wide range of original sources both British and American - Acts of Parliament, poetry, songs, journals, advertisements, obituaries, novels, histories, plays, films, office memoranda, speeches, newspapers, television and radio broadcasts, and private documents and conversations. Here, Andrew Dow records remarkable, memorable words - from the well-known to the abstruse, from the commonplace to the vital. The selected quotations are arranged by subject matter and searchable by speaker, subject, and keyword. "Dow's Dictionary" will inform and captivate railway enthusiasts along with readers interested in railway architecture, engineering, geography, and history.
