From days gone by to the present time, many will have made long-distance rail journeys, perhaps for work, holidays, going back to boarding schools, to college campuses, or the balek kampong trips. As a third-generation 'railway child', the author recalls that there was romance in all things railway: 'the people and their behaviour, the language, and the games played. Along the way, many railway anecdotes dropped into my lap'.

This is a book anyone can enjoy! Comprised of 50 different 'railway gems' drawn from the author's working lifetime on the Malayan and Malaysian Railways, along with numerous illustrations, it is both entertaining and fascinating - and bound to stir recollections of your own!
