The Belgian Kustlijn is one of transport's great survivors; now billed as the world's longest tramline, it is the sole significant survivor of the legendary Vicinal interurban system. This book is an illustrated account of the line's history, and was a fascinating and informative read. But it could have been better: the formatting and photo presentation look amateurish, and the maps lack detail. What really stood out as missing, though, were any mention of what cars from the line still exist as preserved items, and where they might be seen, and, most glaring of all, no real account of the line today, showing the intending visitor where it goes and what might be seen on the way, good photo locations etc. Good but not the definitive account.
