Sydney, New South Wales, Australia: Methuen Australia, Date: 1996. Reprint . Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 144 pages colour and b/w photos - Fascinating history of how the great Australian engineer John Whitton designed the railroad line across the Blue Mountains, building the country's highest and steepest mainline. The line was the greatest construction challenge that the country had yet faced and in an age when shovel, wheelbarrows, picks and brute force were the tools used, the achievement is outstanding. Despite almost overwhelming political, topographical and financial odds, Whitton conquered the Blue Mountains, thereby opening the rich western plains and making the Great Western Railway possible. This book, illustrated throughout with black and white photos and several color drawings, is the story of his triumph. 1996. Methuen Australia ISBN 0454002785 9780454002782 [AU]
