Extraordinary story of the 400 km long 70cm gauge railways of United Plantations in Malaysia. On this, long trains of around 100 tipping wagons weighing 300 tons containing the fresh fruit bunches are hauled by Simplex and similar small diesel locomotives to the processing mills. The total annual tonnage moved is astonishing; this may be narrow gauge, and look a little toylike, but the whole operation is extremely efficient. 50 pages. 135 colour photographs. 1 drawing.
