The Schull & Skibbereen Railway

This is a straight reprint in softback of the Oakwood book first published in 1999 as a hardback, albeit with a new front cover image. Boyd's book was built on a previous small Oakwood book on the subject by A. T. Newham, published in 1964. The Schull and Skibbereen Railway operated in Ireland's West County Cork but is more aptly called a Tramway. The story of this light railway has been variously described as colourful, eventful and fascinating. With nineteen chapters and four appendices, Boyd's account is very comprehensive; in 1999, the Southern Star described it as definitive and containing many beautiful photographs, sketches and charts. Another review called it "a classic".
