Along Parallel Lines by John Gunn is a richly illustrated 1989 hardcover that charts the rise of New South Wales railways from colonial iron-horse beginnings to modern steel corridors. Gunn’s narrative blends engineering milestones with social snapshots, making Australian rail history feel alive for hobbyists, transport buffs and local-history lovers alike.

The generous plate section—maps, station portraits, locomotive diagrams—earns shelf pride alongside any transport reference. A tight, unmarked interior and clean pages let the images and data shine, while the durable binding suits repeated browsing or gift-giving.

This vintage copy arrives in presentable shape: the protected dust jacket shows only light shelf rub, and page edges carry the expected gentle foxing typical of quality ’80s Australian publishing. Otherwise the book is free of notes, dog-ears or smoke odour, ready for display or reading straight away.

Collectors seeking authoritative New South Wales railway history, or anyone hunting a sturdy, illustrated transport gift, will appreciate Gunn’s celebrated chronicle in this well-kept edition.
