Description

Electric Locomotives on Britain's Railways by George Woods is a collection of largely unpublished colour photographs that showcase the different electric locomotive types used on the BR network since 1966. Prior to the completion of the West Coast Route electrification in 1966, electric locomotives were relatively rare on Britain's railways, with most services still relying on steam power. However, the introduction of the Modernisation plan in 1955 marked a significant shift towards diesel and electric traction, aiming to replace steam locos by around 1975. This book features a variety of trains hauled by different electric locomotive types, providing a unique insight into the evolution of Britain's rail network over several decades.
