The first in a new series of Railway histories from ARHS Victoria combines serious railway research and relevant social and local history. The Bungaree Racecourse Railway tells of how an Irish Catholic community overcame staunch Government opposition to obtain a railway to their local racecourse. It was a major political achievement making the story of the railway a significant part of the history of horse racing at Bungaree, which spanned almost 100 years.

At 40 pages and well illustrated, it makes for great reading.
