A fascinating and increasingly scarce illustrated booklet on the history of South African rail transport, The Story of the South African Railways was written by E.F.A. Huth and issued as a special supplement to Personality magazine dated 20 February 1964. Across 36 pages, this attractive publication traces the development of South African Railways from the earliest locomotives through to the modern electric trains of the 1960s, all accompanied by period photographs and informative captions.
The Story of the South African Railways is particularly appealing to collectors of South African railway history, transport memorabilia, Africana, and vintage magazine supplements. It includes numerous historic images of locomotives, railway lines and rolling stock, making it an excellent reference item as well as an attractive display piece. Publications relating specifically to South African Railways from this period are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially complete examples retaining the original cover.
