This comprehensive history of railways in the French département of Jura covers a period of more than 150 years, from the first steam trains to the arrival of the TGV. The subjects also include an account of the construction and operation of the Transjuralpin international line to Switzerland, the rapid expansion of the rail network in the late nineteenth century is explained, and a chapter is devoted to the famous viaducts and tunnels between Andelot - Morez - St. Claude (Ligne des Hirondelles). There are studies of the narrow gauge lines: the extensive network of the Chemins de Fer Vicinaux du Jura; the Andelot - Levier railway; and the Morez - Nyon tramway, part of which remains open. There are special sections on travel with the PLM; the Prussian War in the Jura; the Chemins de fer des Dombes et du Sud-Est; lines planned but never built; locomotive depots; and locomotives of the PLM.The book is illustrated throughout with numerous photographs taken by the authors, old postcard views, and specially prepared maps, diagrams and charts. It is likely to appeal to all those with an interest in the development of railways in France.
