The last great region of railway expansion was Australia, and its stories of railway pioneers and engineering achievement against significant hazards equal the legendary American railway book.

Australia's Railway Days is a series of self-contained segments, illustrated with historic photographs, highlighting the key milestones of Australian railway history - from the first convict-powered railway in Van Diemen's Land in 1836 to the first coast-to-coast crossing by the Indian Pacific in 1970.
