Burman vividly recalls the saga of the Cape Government Railways, from its humble beginnings in 1860 with Wellington as its first goal, to 1910 with Union, when the system was taken over by the SA Railways. Yet this is more than the story of the railways: interwoven are the political issues, economic considerations, the surge for power, and most important of all, the history of the men behind their big, lumbering machines.
