Railways Remembered: Images from the Derek Cross Collection A visual tribute to one of the great railway photographers of his era, this collection features over 200 colour photographs taken by Derek Cross between the late 1950s and early 1980s. The images showcase the transition from steam locomotives to diesel and electric traction, with many shots taken in iconic locations across Britain. The book is arranged geographically, covering areas synonymous with Derek Cross' work, including the south-west of Scotland, the Somerset & Dorset line, Kent, and the south east. His son David has compiled the captions, drawing on his father's notes, to provide a unique insight into the photographer's vision. This album is a fitting tribute to Derek Cross' legacy, offering a fascinating glimpse into Britain's railway heritage during a pivotal period in its history.
