In the ''Malta Railway'' - Il-Vapur ta' l-Art'', Joseph Bonnici and Michael Cassar rediscover the Island's narrow gauge railway which shut down in 1931. The story has never been told with such a welath of detail and research. The attitude of Government, politician, capitalist, employee and public towards this undertaking are revealed as the story unfolds. Other chapters deal with engines and rolling stock, accidents, accounts and the Railway School. In the epilogue the authors retrace the route showing the remains of stations, tunnels, cuttings and embankments. In addition to the text, rare photographs, maps and plans will make the book a must for the historian, railway buff and all those who have Malta at heart.
