Faraway places, fascinating people, enchanting, diminutive locomotives, twisting winding tracks ...

"Bob Whetham knew that the narrow gauge world was disappearing and he determined to ride the survivors before they faded away forever. Armed with camera, unflappable good humour, and infectious charm that bridged the miles, Bob Whetham searched the world for the last narrow gauge railways. Rumours, old reports or perhaps a photo led him to Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Patagonia in Argentina, El Salvador, Guatemala, Zaire, South Africa, India, Pakistan, China’s Jilin Province, Wales, Alaska, the Yukon and the Canadian Prairies. From high mountain passes and twisting switchbacks to tropical jungles and desert plains, this is outstanding railroad adventure coupled with a stunning gallery of wonderful photographs."—ROBERT D.
