On The Trans-Alpine Trail: A Travel Guide To The Midland Railway And State Highway 73 by Geoffrey B. Churchman

'The Midland Railway between Christchurch and Greymouth is rightly acclaimed as the most spectacular in New Zealand, and one of the great railway journeys of the world. Likewise State Highway 73, which generally follows the same route, would have to be one of the posy spectacular roads in the country. Both are testaments to the civil engineering brilliance in the days before the mechanised era of the late 1930s, and both are rich in pioneering history. This book has been written for the benefit of people who make a journey on the Trans-Alpine express between Christchurch and Greymouth or by road over State Highway 73.'. This 2001 Transpress Stapled is in good condition.
