<P>This web site contains information about selected railway lines
in Europe and elsewhere which are particularly interesting to travel and attractive for the railway photographer.
The PictuRail pages give basic historical information on the lines or groups of lines, some notes on today's
service, hints for photographing, selected bibliographical references for further reading and - as this site's name
suggests - a selection of photos.</P>
