This definitive account of the history of the
Cyprus Government
Railways (C.G.R.) illuminates a rather obscure chapter in the history of
overland communications and transport in Cyprus, from its official opening to
the Cypriot public in October 1915 until its demise in December 1951, due to
financial constraints.
For half a century, C.G.R. had contributed not only to the economy of the island
with the movement of goods, but also its social development, linking urban
centres with remote areas.
A unique photographic archive accompanies the text written by Michael Radford.
