Published by Thames & Hudson on August 19, the book and its author - Christopher Valkoinen from the National Railway Museum - chronicle the development and impact of life-changing inventions, designs that never came to fruition, larger than life characters, and the millions of people who have worked and travelled on the rails over the last two centuries.
