Romance Of Australian Railways
By Patsy Adam Smith
Published by Rigby Limited: Sydney, Melbourne etc 1976

" Romance of Australian Railways by Patsy Adam-Smith is a nostalgic and richly detailed tribute to the golden era of Australian rail travel. Drawing from personal experiences and meticulous research, Adam-Smith captures the romance, grit, and character of the railways that stitched together Australia's vast landscapes. The book weaves together anecdotes, interviews, and historical photographs, offering insight into the lives of railway workers, the development of key routes, and the unique culture that thrived around the tracks. It celebrates not only the technology and engineering of the rail system but also the human stories that gave it heart.

Through evocative storytelling, Adam-Smith brings to life the powerful steam engines, bustling country stations, and the sense of adventure that accompanied every journey. She explores the social and economic impact of the railways on remote towns and how trains became lifelines for communities spread across harsh and isolated terrains. The book serves as both a historical account and a loving homage to an era when rail travel was more than transport—it was an experience filled with camaraderie, challenge, and enduring spirit."
