Description
Rail Freight South West England by Paul Shannon explores the changing face of rail freight in the region over four decades. From the early days of china clay operations to the modernization of the railway, this volume examines the evolution of traction, rolling stock and infrastructure. The photographs, many of which are previously unpublished, provide a visual record of the changes that have taken place. The book delves into the story of how the Mendip quarries have become major players in the movement of stone to terminals across southern England. With over 160 carefully chosen images, this book offers a unique insight into the history and development of rail freight in South West England.
