Description
Ayrshire Traction by Colin Howat is a photographic record of the last forty years of diesel and electric traction in Ayrshire. The book features colour and black and white photographs documenting the history of railway traction in the region, including passenger and freight trains at various stations such as Kilmarnock, Largs, Greenburn, Irvine, Hunterston and Ardrossan Harbour. The author, who has lived in Ayrshire all his life and worked in the rail industry, provides a unique perspective on the subject. The photographs showcase the evolution of railway traction in the region from the 1960s to the present day. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in transportation history, particularly those with a focus on railways and Ayrshire's rich industrial heritage.
