I found this book to be easy to read and yet deeply scholarly. A superb, informative and enjoyable read! It is not too often that you find a railway history book as readable as a novel.
It seems to me that it is possible that the individual chapters are developed from the text of a series of lectures on early railway history. The readable text is backed up by very comprehensive notes and references. There is also a wide-ranging bibliography.
