A PIECE OF SOUTH AFRICAN RAILWAYS HISTORY!

In this account of the history, organisation and scope of the Railways, personalities have been avoided to a large extent and this comprehensive transport undertaking is presented against the background of a country which has compressed the development of centuries into the space of less than 100 years. In the last century South Africa has given the world gold, diamonds, other mineral wealth and many agricultural products.

The South African Railways have had to keep pace with almost beanstalk expansion. That they have measured up to their exacting requirements is a tribute at once to the men who moulded the machine and to the enterprise of a virile population. A subject as comprehensive as the South African Railways cannot adequately be brought within the compass of a single volume, but a sincere attempt has been made to present in proper perspective an objective picture of the largest single business enterprise in the Union of South Africa.

In the preparation of this book the Government Printer, the Department of Trigonometrical Survey and the Heads of all Railway Departments have co-operated. Their assistance, without which the task could not have been attempted, is gratefully acknowledged. To Mr. Eric Rosenthal, the South African author, who helped in the historical research, special thanks are due for enthusiastic co-operation.
