Huelva 2007. An extremely rare subject! This well-produced book tells the history of all railways in the former Spanish Guinea, currently Equatorial Guinea. On the island of Bioko (ex-Macías Nguema, formerly Fernando Poo) there have been five different railways (plus one never completed). One of them had public service and even a section equipped with Abt rack rail. All railways had 600mm gauge, and while four lines were operated by human power, the other two had five steam locomotives between them.
In the mainland (region also being called Río Muni), there were 13 forestry railways of gauges 600mm to 1 metre, between 5 to 61km in length and using 35 locomotives. The first of them was opened in 1922 and the last closed in 1963.
The author must be congratulated for managing to gather so much information and so many photos of these 18 formerly almost totally unknown railways. Text Spanish. 235 pages, 159 photos, 24 maps and diagrams, sb.
