The reminiscences of a railway professional who managed railways in the United Kingdom before the 2nd World War and then was deputed to India during the War on military service. Intersting description of the railway operation in Bengal and Assam in the 1940s and the railways' challenges and contribution to the war effort in the hill sections in the north east of the country open up a new dimension of India's railway history. Of special interest is the operations of the Beyer Garratt locos over Assam Bengal Railway.
