Synopsis
Dow's Dictionary of Railway Quotations is an authoritative compendium of quotations about railways from 1608 to the present day. More than 3,400 entries are drawn from over 1,300 writers and speakers and a wide range of original sources both British and American—Acts of Parliament, poetry, songs, journals, advertisements, obituaries, novels, histories, plays, films, office memoranda, speeches, newspapers, television and radio broadcasts, and private documents and conversations.
Here Andrew Dow records remarkable, memorable words—from the well-known to the abstruse, from the commonplace to the vital. The selected quotations are arranged by subject matter and searchable by speaker, subject, and keyword.
Dow's Dictionary will inform and captivate railway enthusiasts along with readers interested in railway architecture, engineering, geography, and history.

Review
Dow has given us an extraordinary harvest of 3,700 entries to pick from... Magnificent book.
(Michael Binyon London Times)There are some 80 dictionaries of quotations on the market yet, until now, none has dealt with railways.
(Rail)This book is a quite astonishing compilation produced through time honoured research, enthusiasm, and dedication to railways.
(Railways Illustrated)One of the best of themed quotation books I have come across in a good while is Dow's Dictionary of Railway Quotations ... A rich assemblage of railway/railroad sayings.
(The "Quote...Unquote" Newsletter)This is the sort of book you don't realize you need until you see it.
(Railway Magazine)It will undoubtedly become a classic work of reference in its own right.
(NRM Rview)This is a major contribution to railroad literature, and I expect my copy to become dog-eared from frequent use.
(Classic Trains)The scale of Andrew Dow's achievement is truly staggering.
(IRSE)A fascinating book to dip into... Andrew Dow is to be congratulated.
(Times Literary Supplement)Dow has done us all a tremendous service in producing this fascinating compendium... it will be referred to pleasurably again and again.
