Andrew Dow was born into a railway family in Hitchin, England, where his parents worked at the wartime headquarters of the London & North Eastern Railway. He spent thirty years in the aviation industry before being appointed Head of the National Railway Museum in York in 1992. He is the author of Norfolk & Western Coal Cars (TLC, 1998) and Telling the Passenger Where to Get Off (Capital Transport, 2005). He is a fellow of the Permanent Way Institute, president of the Stephenson Locomotive Society, and vice chairman of the Gresley Society.
Dow's Dictionary of Railway Quotations is an authoritative compendium of quotations about railways from 1608 to the present day. More than 3,400 entries are drawn from over 1,300 writers and speakers and a wide range of original sources both British and American.
Dow records remarkable, memorable words from the well-known to the abstruse, from the commonplace to the vital. The selected quotations are arranged by subject matter and searchable by speaker, subject, and keyword.
"Dow has given us an extraordinary harvest of 3,400 entries to pick from... Magnificent book." London Times
"This book is a quite astonishing compilation produced through time honoured research, enthusiasm, and dedication to railways." Railways Illustrated
"This is the sort of book you don't realize you need until you see it." Railway Magazine
"This is a major contribution to railroad literature, and I expect my copy to become dog-eared from frequent use." Classic Trains
"If you're looking for the perfect quote, or just enjoy getting lost in the thoughts of those who came before, this is a great place to start." Trains
"Hours of unexpected delight... Dow delivers several good laughs and does not flinch from indecorous language or from mentioning acts that are usually passed over in silence." Railroad History
"To fully comprehend the impact railways have had historically on civilization one needs to go no further than review this volume." American Reference Books Annual
"A well conceived and executed effort that deserves a place on the bookshelves of many scholars and enthusiasts." Journal of Transport History
