About This Item
([Bulawayo]: Rhodesia Railways Historical Committee, 1970). Small oblong 4to (153 x 90 mm); spiral-bound boards; unpaginated (but pp. 58); each leaf has a photograph of the unit on the recto, with technical drawing on the verso. Boards a little rubbed; occasional fox spot. Good to very good condition. 'This fine collection of photographs has been published by the Rhodesia Railways' Historical Committee in the hope that it will stimulate interest in Rhodesia's own Railways. There are three main types of locomotives operating on Rhodesia Railways:- "Straight," "Garratt" and "Diesel," and all are depicted from the smallest to the largest. The standard of operating efficiency of these steam and diesel locomotives has been very high, resulting in a very low maintenance demand. Rhodesia Railways' steam locomotives form one of the few first class fleets remaining in the world today.' - from the Foreword by the chairman of the Rhodesia Railways Historical Committee .
