Dunedin's Matchbox Railway
By J A Dangerfield Published by NZ Railway & Locomotive Society Inc. (1986) This is the in depth story of the Dunedin, Peninsula and Ocean Beach Railway Company, and other Suburban transport ventures. The Company was formed in 1874 but had a short life before being declared bankrupt in 1883. However, subsequent owners managed to keep the line operating and the outer extremity survived until 1938. This is a fascinating account of how a shoe string railway survived with minimal traffic for more than 60 years, until overtaken by the new technology of electric trams, and the increased use of road transport. 112 pages, 20 black & white photographs plus drawings, card cover. If the book is sold a new copy will be listed. See my other listings for more railway books. |
