520    From the American Civil War onwards, railways have been an
       important aspect of war. So important were the railways 
       that in the First World War, the state took control of the
       railways, and then repeated this exercise in the Second 
       World War. Wartime on the Railways describes the part 
       played by Britain's railways during the Second World War, 
       dealing not simply with operational matters or the impact 
       of enemy action on the railways, but also looking at 
       financial arrangements, the part played by railway 
       workshops in producing equipment for the military, the 
       wartime experience of the railways' ships, with the 
       narrative augmented by personal accounts from railwaymen, 
       and women as the war years saw much change. The book 
       includes chapters on the railways during the final years 
       of peace, and on each of the "Big Four" companies, London 
       Transport's underground system, the impact of wartime 
       restrictions on travel and scheduling, the role of the 
       railway workshops, and ports and shipping, as many railway
       ships were lost during the battle for France and at 
       Dunkirk.
