..".a superbly researched and written book, one that leaves no
stone unturned. I can heartily recommend it if you have an interest
in Japanese railways. It should serve as an example to any author
wiring a railway history-this is the way it should be done."
--Losing Track
"Free details japan's first six decades of railway development
accompanied by rare, historic photographs, postcards, maps, and
woodblock prints. Free brings to life the events and people, while
providing greater context in both Japanese and world history. "
--Trains Magazine
"A rare example of a work that combines technical excellence and a
plethora of information with a lively writing style that always
gives the human element its due." --SamuraiArchives.com
"There is enough information here to satisfy the historian, but the
old maps, postcards, drawings and dining car menus are a definite
bonus for the more visually-oriented." --Shelf Awareness
