'The Indian subcontinent is renowned for its railways. It has the world's third largest network and on any given day it carries more than 20 million people between 6,800 stations. A book dedicated to some of India's narrowest gauges called India's Disappearing Railways came to Saturday Extra's attention from listener Peter. Australian photojournalist Angus McDonald travelled on ten narrow-gauge lines, but sadly before his book was completed he died. His fiancee Catherine Anderson, who accompanied him on some of the journeys, edited his book.'
