Description
Rail Freight North West England by Paul Shannon Over the past 40 years, the rail freight landscape in North West England has undergone significant changes. The traction and wagon fleets have been largely replaced, with freight trains becoming heavier and less frequent. Many small freight terminals have closed, while others have adapted to new demands. Despite these changes, some areas have seen growth in specific types of traffic. For example, biomass on rail and increased intermodal traffic have become more prevalent. Additionally, the Buxton area has experienced significant growth in stone traffic. This book explores these changes through stunning photographs, many of which are previously unpublished, providing a unique insight into the evolution of rail freight in North West England. With over 150 photographs, this volume offers a detailed look at the changes in traction, rolling stock and railway infrastructure that have shaped the region's rail freight industry over four decades.
