A well illustrated study of the railroads and coast defense guns that the US Army placed on Corregidor Island and Manila Bay, prior to WW 2. Coverage of WW 2 operations and what many sites look like today. — It may come as a surprise to many that some tramways of the United States have evaded documentation. One of the least known electric systems outside the continental United States was also the west-most tramway in the Philippines. On the small island of Corregidor at the entrance of Manila Bay was located a strategic defence post of the U.S. Forces, known as „Fort Mills“. In 1907, the US Congress authorized the construction of a tramway to service the island batteries with foodstuffs and munitions, and to provide a means of internal communication. The tramway linked the north and south docks with the various batteries on high ground facing westwards to the open sea, and most of the system was opened in 1910. Traces the history of the U.S. Army’s Corregidor and Manila Bay Railroads. Includes over 70 maps, drawings and photos which illustrate the construction, operation and destruction of these narrow gauge lines that served America’s Far East Gibraltar. Presumed First Railroad Monographs edition, first printing. (abe) -.
Small, Charles S.: Rails to the setting sun, Tokyo: Kigei . 1971 – 188 pages : 228 Fotos (davon 11 farbig), 30 Karten und 12 Gleispläne ; 28,5 x 22 cm
One of the first books to cover some obscure narrow gauge railways around the world – includes Spain, Australia, Philippines, Greece, Malaysia, New Caledonia, Indonesia, Mozambique etc. — „Ein höchst faszinierendes Buch. Es ist auf gutem Kunstdruckpapier gedruckt und beschreibt mit Dampf betriebene Schmalspurbahnen in Spanien, Griechenland, Malaysia, Taiwan, Australien, Neu-Kaledonien, Indonesien, Mozambique, in der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik und auf den Philippinen. Die meisten der beschriebenen Bahnen haben eine Spurweite von weniger als drei Fuss (914 mm), und viele von ihnen bestehen berets nicht mehr. Heute müssen solche Bahnen oft auch auf Zuckerpiantagen, entfernten Kohlengebieten, in abgelegenen Wäldern oder Olivenhainen gesucht werden. Der Autor beschreibt sie in Wort und Bild und mit grosser Sachkenntnis. Die Illustrationen sind durchweg gut, und die Karten und Gleispläne sind alle sehr schön gezeichnet. Der Verfasser hat seine Studien an der Columbia University‘s School of Engineering absolviert und publizierte mit den Titeln «Far wheels« (1960) und «Rails to the rising sun» (1965) bereits früher zwei Bücher. (EA 2/1973, S. 71).
