new old stock, but long out of print.
9 1/2″ X 6″, 176 pages, illustrated throughout with historic b+w photographs and a few line drawings,
The Long Haul is not a mere repository of factual detail, The hardship, the sweat, the characters, the affinity between man and horse, the memories are all here.
The book is both a record and a tribute to those men and horses who, from the early 1830’s until the late 1950’s were an important-if unsung part of railway history.
