Über den Autor
PETER JOHNSON is the author of more than 30 books, mainly about Welsh and narrow-gauge railways. His association with the Ffestiniog Railway, as editor of the Ffestiniog Railway Society's quarterly magazine (1974-2003), as a director of the Ffestiniog Railway Society (1992-2003) and in drafting the company's Welsh Highland Railway Transport & Works Order, and as the compiler of a narrow-gauge railway news column for one of the mainstream British railway magazines since 1995, has put him in a good position to compile this story of the Welsh Highland Railway's history and its revival, his third title for Pen & Sword Transport.
