All aboard! From the fastest to the longest, the oldest to the
newest, through tunnels, across bridges and up mountainsides, take a
fascinating ride through the world of trains in this brilliant new book
from illustrator James Gulliver Hancock.
In this follow-up to How Cities Work and How Airports Work,
young readers travel through history and around the world to find out
everything they ever wanted to know about trains. Unfold pages and lift
flaps to reveal bustling stations, old steam locomotives fuelled with
coal, and high-speed trains zooming across Japan at almost 400 miles per
hour!
And that’s not all. See how trains reach the top of
mountains, transport people under cities, and work beneath the sea. And
don’t forget to dress up – we’ll take you on some luxurious journeys
including the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostok, and The
Ghan, which runs all the way across Australia!
How Trains Work
is jam-packed with amazing facts and awesome illustrations, and was
created in consultation with Anthony Coulls, Senior Curator of Rail
Transport & Technology, National Railway Museum, UK.
