Railway Electrification in Australia and New Zealand examines the development of electric traction from overhead catenary as a motive power source in both countries. Although only small percentages of the rail networks in both countries have been electrified, the proportion of total traffic carried under wires in much higher, making it an important element in the national tramsport task, as well as in energy and enviromental politics. This book presents an illustrated survey of railway electrification on public lines in both Australia and New Zealand to the mid-1990s with a concise yet comprehensive text accompanied with colour and monochrome photos, locomotive line drawings and maps. 160 pages in 286 x 210 mm format.
