Romance of Victorian Railways by Patsy Adam-Smith is a lively historical account of the development and cultural impact of railways in the Australian state of Victoria, blending researched history with anecdote and human interest stories. The book traces the expansion of railway lines from the colonial era through their peak years, highlighting the engineers, workers, passengers, and communities shaped by the rail network.
