Description
British Industrial Railways in the 1960s and 1970s by John Glover is an in-depth look at the industrial railway scene in Britain during these decades. Many systems, including those used for coal transport from pit head to washery, are featured in this book. The railways of the time were operated by a variety of companies, including the National Coal Board, quarries, paper mills, and breweries, among others. The locomotives used were diverse, with steam, fireless, electric, and diesel options available from manufacturers such as Andrew Barclay, Hunslet, and Peckett. With an array of superb photographs, this book provides a fascinating overview of the industrial railway scene in Britain during the 1960s and 1970s.
