"The photographs and full color renderings between the covers of this book are quite nice, the photo captions and text is very well done. The amount and quality of information presented by the authors is impressive." - AMPS "This book does provide an excellent overall view of the development and use of railway artillery in World War I, and is recommended to anyone with an interest in that subject." - Coast Defense Journal "If you enjoy history and want to find something different you might scratch--build for your layout, you had best look into Railway Guns of WWI and Rail-way Guns of WWII. I enjoyed them; I bet you will also." - Railroad Model Craftsman
