This new atlas contains a wealth of detail about the railway and tramway (extra-urban) lines that exist, and have existed, in these two countries - as well as details of aerial cableways, stations, tunnels, traffic types, voltage systems, altitudes, distances, particulars of operators and much more - on colour map pages. You also get the same details in areas of neighbouring countries near the borders: France, Switzerland, Austria and Croatia.
It is obvious that this book must have involved a lot of research and cartographic work, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the transport history of Italy and Slovenia. Legends are in Italian, German, French and English while the accompanying body text is in Italian and German (well, Slovenian isn't exactly spoken by many people and German is an official language in the South Tirol part of Italy).
It has 192 pages in 280 x 240 mm format, hardcover.
Sounds great - are there railway atlases on other Europeans countries available too?
ReplyDeleteyes - companion atlases on Switzerland, Austria and Germany from the same publisher are available.
