Comment:
"The most authoritative book compiled on Irish railways in the last 40 years, if not of all time! Everything you ever wanted or needed to know. Now a fascinating period-piece, and a mine of information about the Irish railway system in 1967. A very scarce book, but well worth tracking down.A superb book! The “Bible” as far as nearly everyone is concerned."
