ABOUT
British rail history.
The railway era began in Britain when steam was king. In the age of petrol and diesel, these once confident, rumbustious railways fell into decline, yet as their fortunes waned, the fascination for trains and all their works grew.
Jack Simmons sympathetically tells the history of the railways and describes every major aspect of their equipment and operations: permanent way, buildings, locomotives, rolling stock, signalling and labour relations. He also makes journeys through the Pennines, Scotland, Essex and Southern England on which he acts as observer and guide.
Illustrated with monochrome and colour images and illustrations, maps, vintage adverts.
CONDITION
Excellent reading copy, complete and intact with light water damage of page edges, still perfectly readable.
