The Railways of Burgundy Patrick Bennett

Profusely illustrated throughout, with photographs, old postcard views, maps, diagrams and timetables, this, the third volume of the series on the railways of Burgundy, describes the history of every line in the département, both main and secondary, whether closed or still active. It also tells the story of the extensive metre gauge network of the Chemins de Fer Départementaux de la Côte d'Or. There are, additionally, special sections on the steam locomotives of the Est company; Dijon and its depots; Blaisy-Bas; and the early streamlined locomotives of the PLM. Carefully researched and with many previously unpublished photographs, this work is bound to appeal to anyone with an interest in French railways.
