Description
Coal Trains: A UK Panorama The construction of power stations in Britain's towns and cities led to an increased reliance on coal as a fuel source. In the 1960s and early 1970s, the government initiated a programme to build new power stations, many of which were equipped with direct rail-connected facilities for handling coal. This resulted in the development of the Merry-Go-Round, or MGR, coal train. The book features a collection of previously unpublished images from across various locations and years, showcasing a wide range of coal trains in motion. From these photographs, a UK panorama of the MGR coal trains emerges, providing a unique insight into this aspect of Britain's industrial heritage. With over 96 pages of images, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of coal trains in the UK.
