Description
Industrial Railways by Anthony Coulls explores the often-overlooked world of industrial railways in the UK. These railway lines played a vital role in moving raw materials and finished products from the early days of railways, serving industries such as sewage works, sugar factories, and ironstone mines. From massive gasworks like Beckton to specialist wagons carrying unusual goods, industrial railways were ubiquitous, with many still surviving today as heritage attractions. The book delves into these preserved lines, as well as how to discover more about their history and even become a part-time coal train driver. With its unique focus on the lesser-known world of industrial railways, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of industry and transportation.
