Author Alex Glennie is chuffed with the response to his latest book about Southland’s historic railway network.

The Hedgehope Branch Railway 1899-1968 had a successful launch this month, he said.

The book’s unnamed sponsor requested all book proceeds from the sale of the book, as well as a copy for patients to read, be donated to Southland’s Charity Hospital.
