Journey To The Pass - Memories of the Midland Line

摘要

Here is a book that has set about to record the memories of men and women once employed on what is now a very famous line. The authors set the scene by detailing a potted history of the politics and construction of the Midland Railway. For those that might not have read this information in other books and journals, it describes well the political hedging, endeavour and financial ruin of The New Zealand Midland Railway Company, the individual and collective struggle to push the line through, and the inevitable frustration at delays in completing the line over 37 years.
