| A must for anyone with an interest in Railways as well as all those with childhood memories of summer day train journeys to and from Belfast and the country towns and seaside of County Down. The Belfast and County Down Railway connected the City to, among other places, Bangor, Newtownards, Donaghadee, Ballynahinch, Downpatrick and Newcastle. Today, only the Bangor line remains open but many people have fond memories of the old BCDR and are eagerly awaiting this book. Its author, Des Coakham, knew the BCDR personally and is the acknowledged expert on the subject. His book will become the definitive history of the line and is packed with interesting detail about the line, its personalities and its long history. There are full details of its locomotives and rolling stock and about 200 photographs and drawings. Also included is information about the building of Newcastle's famous Slieve Donard Hotel, originally owned by the BCDR. Continent: Europe
