And while there’s no train called the City of New Orleans in this tome, Stop the Train! I Want To Get On, by Graham Hutchins is a book that is surely bound for glory!
It recounts journeys throughout both islands of New Zealand, on regular passenger trains, railcars, freight trains and work trains.
In his new book he recounts a journey he undertook alone on the night train to Auckland at the tender age of 10. From then on he travelled as much as he could and, as a young man, searched for smaller forgotten lines to experience what they offered.
Well written and beautifully illustrated, Stop The Train! I Want To Get On, by Graham Hutchins, published by Exisle Publishing (RRP $49.99) is ideal for dads and grand-dads who still hanker to get their ticket at the station and even ride the north-bound train on a south-bound track.
Thanks to Exisle Publishing Rural Living has one copy of Stop The Train! I Want To Get On to give away.
