520 1 $a"India's railroad history, as related here, offers a unique lens on a larger story of triumph over adversity. By 1905, India had the world's fourth largest railway network - a position it retains in the early 21st century. The railroads were at the organizational and technological center of many of the inter-related economic, political, social, cultural, and ecological transformations that produced modern India through, and out of, its colonial past. In addition to this vast technical achievement there is an equally important and wide-sweeping human-interest tale to be told with vignettes of the triumph of the human spirit in the face of great adversity."--BOOK JACKET.
