The majority of books are purely Irish in content, but those which are not will have some Irish references or be relevant to Irish railway practice.
The reviews and comments were written mainly at the time the books were published so should be read in that context. Where references are included in the Review boxes, these will generally be RPSI, where the review was taken from the relevant issue of "Five Foot Three", or IRRS, where the review was taken from the specified issue of the Journal of the Irish Railway Record Society. We are indebted to the latter for giving us permission to quote from their Journal.
Readers aware of books not listed are invited to submit the relevant details, in a similar format, to rpsitrains@hotmail.com for inclusion here. It is intended that the list will be expanded to include all books published on the subject of railways in Ireland.
