The Cambrian Railways Gallery A Pictorial Journey Through Time is a comprehensive and visually stunning exploration of the history of the Cambrian Railways. This book in Pen & Sword's 'Gallery' series begins with an overview of the early years of the railways, before delving into a magnificent collection of photographs showcasing the locomotives and scenery of mid Wales. The book features over 250 photographs, including more than 40 in color, as well as extensive text that brings the story of the Cambrian up to date. The author, Paul Carpenter, has persuaded former railwaymen to share their memories and experiences, adding a personal touch to the narrative. The book concludes with a description of efforts to restore part of the closed section of the line. With over 25,000 words of text and an impressive array of photographs, this book is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the history of railways in Great Britain.
