This is a lovely book on the Western Railways amazing suburban system in Mumbai. It is to be noted that the Mumbai suburban system was the first electrified railway in India. The book starts with the description of how the suburban system started with the BBCI railway and also how it was understood that Mumbai needs a suburban railway. The book has lovely pictures of  the trains in the old days and that makes it very attractive
