Book Description:
|
A self-contained narrow gauge railway on an island is always an appealing prospect, and the lines on the French islands of Ile de Re and the Ile d'Oleron were a delight. As with most of these narrow gauge railways they became increasingly out of step with life as the twentieth century progressed and couldn't survive. This book describes and illustrates both lines in detail, including the ships that connected with them.
