This publication is a concise history of the Cork & Macroom Direct Railway. The author covers the issues of route selection, incorporation, operations (including the
inevitable row with neighbouring railway companies) and a serious accident that financially damaged the company.
There are the standard chapters on locomotives and rolling stock, a chapter describing the route of the line and one on train services. Appendices give a sample
timetable, details about the C&M section in GSR days from the Working Timetable.
