Gittins, Paul: On Track. Henry Gittins – Railway Pioneer in Siam & Canada, Bangkok: River Books . 2014 – 151 p. : ill.

Henry Gittins, born in 1858, went to Canada as a young adventurer where he started his career as a railway engineer. In 1885, he joined a survey team in Siam aiming to develop a national railway system. He spent thirty-three years there, progressing to the highest position in the Siamese Railway Department. Amongst his many achievements was the discovery of Hua Hin and his heroic construction of the Southern Railway line, which opened up the southern peninsula to travel and development. During his time in Siam, Henry Gittins kept a series of diaries which not only give a first hand account of the difficult and dangerous conditions surrounding the construction of railways at that time but also a fascinating picture of the emergence of Siam (now Thailand) into the modern world. ‘On Track’ is an affectionate tribute from the author to the grandfather that he never met but whom he got to know and appreciate through the diaries that had been left him.

Kakizaki, Ichiro: Rails of the kingdom. The history of Thai railways, Bangkok: White Lotus Press . 2012 – xiv, 214 pages : illustrations, maps 30 cm , ISBN 978-974-480-194-4

Rails of the Kingdom is an outline of railway history in Thailand intended for general readers, summarizing the author’s previous research in transport in Thailand. It aims to present a general history of Thai railways from the latter half of the nineteenth century to the present, focusing on changes in railway policy and the transformation of railway transport in Thailand. Many maps, charts, and tables are offered as references, together with about 100 photographs. This book covers not only the development of an interregional rail network under the Royal Railway Department and its successor, State Railways of Thailand, but also the history of urban railways in Bangkok, including the elevated railway, the subway, and the airport access railway, The present situation and future prospects are also examined. Since a survey of relations between the railway and other means of transport, especially road transport, is crucial for understanding the history of railways, highway development in Thailand is also described. The book presents Thai railway history within the context of transportation in general in Thailand. A comparison of Thai railways with neighboring countries’railways in terms of network development, the transformation of transport, and modernization is also offered. The history of railway construction in each country in Southeast Asia is briefly described, as well as recent plans for building an international railway network in Southeast Asia and Southern China. Through such comparisons, this book presents a brief history of railways throughout Southeast Asia. (mau).

———: The railways of Thailand, Bangkok: White Lotus Press . 2009 – xxii, 212 p. : ill.; 30 cm , ISBN 978-974-480-151-7

This book was originally intended to describe the development of the locomotive stock of the State Railway of Thailand, and was published as such in 1984. Questions and suggestions from readers and the present publisher made the story grow, not only in length, but also in scope. In this third edition, the book covers the development of locomotives, carriage and wagon stock, as well as the railway network itself since the beginnings of rail transportation in what was then Siam during the last decade of the 19th century. It also includes secondary, partly non-government lines as well as a short overview of industrial lines. These are not treated in detail; they form a subject in themselves and should not be limited to an appendix in a book on common-carrier railways. The text has been revised and extended and is supported by several maps, two hundred largely unpublished photographs, both in black-and-white and color, and seventy diagrams.

Sharrocks, Mike: South East Asian Railway Journeys. Bangkok to Singapore. Mike Sharrocks Consultancy Pte Ltd . Revised ed. 2016 – 28 p. , ISBN 978-981-09-9768-7

This book describes the first of a series of long distance journeys through South East Asia. It covers the trip from Bangkok, through the southern „elephant trunk“ of Thailand via Penang and Kuala Lumpur, to Singapore (and the former station of Tanjong Pagar, that closed in 2011). The purpose of the journey was to look at railway travel as a more leisurely means of tourism. More people who travel want to experience a genuine insight into foreign cultures or to see how local people live their lives. Railway travel provides a good way of doing this. There is also a greater desire to see environmental and social responsibility needs being met in the places that tourists stay in or visit. Added to this is the pursuit of „slow tourism“ where, instead of rushing from one place to another, people want to travel in a more leisurely manner. Railway travel has the potential to accommodate these requirements. The travelogue style is intended to be anecdotal and illustrative (with photos) and to give the reader an idea of the sort of experiences (good and bad) that one could expect in undertaking the trip.
