This is an indispensible book for those who wish to read about the colourful, yet daunting efforts of the railway pioneers of the 19th and 20th centuries who successfully laid the railways in the North East of India, braving sickness and inhospitable terrain and brought prosperity to this remote region. Full of witty anecdotes and rare photographs and maps, the book is really an unparreled effort.
