Description
Experience the final years of steam in the Southern Region of the UK railway network. From 1960 to 1967, this region was one of the last places where steam locomotives continued to run, despite the introduction of all-electric systems.
This book presents a unique look at that period, featuring rare and unpublished full colour photography taken at various locations including Waterloo, Weymouth, Salisbury, and the Isle of Wight. It also showcases enthusiast specials and the Army locos that ran on the Longmoor Military Railway.
George Woods' collection of photographs provides a nostalgic glimpse into a bygone era, allowing railway enthusiasts to relive the history of steam in the Southern Region.
