The book is about Kosta Glassworks, the creation and development of the small narrow-gauge railway and the continuation to Målerås as well as all the difficulties.
There are stories about Hummel's Railway Office and about Kosta Gjuteri & Mekaniska Verkstad and its production. Even Lessebo Mill's narrow gauge railway is included in a corner. Exciting stories and facts about when the railway was built and staff lists, is it perhaps one of your relatives who worked on this railway?
Locomotives and wagons are described in detail, including conversions and strange renumbering. You also find out what happened when freight wagons were dropped in a headwind or when the transhipment track in Målerås was torn up and quarrelled with "the great railway" for 22 years!
The book is in A5 format and has 147 pages with 13 maps and railway yard plans, four of which are fold-outs. 55 photographs as well as diagrams, notices etc. supplement the text. Two four-colour plates of KLJ locomotives and wagons are included.
