Very detailed English language book on the relatively few preserved lines in France, plus those SNCF lines with a specific tourist service, lines where you can pedal along on a velo, museums, locomotive preservation societies etc., etc. The amount of information is impressive, and my only serious gripe is that the information is listed alphabetically by Region, rather than in a north, east, south, west circular tour which would make planning a visit easier. Maps would also be nice, but there are copious contact details for each operation, including websites in most cases. Indispensable if you are planning a steamy tour de France (and an enjoyable read even if you are not)! 192 pages illustrated with colour photographs. Paperback. Oakwood Press
