Description
Steam on the Southern and Western is a personal record of railway views captured on film in the late 1950s and 1960s, marking the end of steam on British Railways. The book features black and white photography in a tried-and-tested picture and captions format.
The majority of pictures showcase trains, but also include interesting branch line and infrastructure scenes, offering an eclectic mix of subjects beyond main line views. This volume covers the Southern and Western regions, including the Somerset and Dorset Railway, with photographs grouped by location to provide a flavour of railway activity at the time.
With its gentle meander through the 1950s and 1960s railway scene, Steam on the Southern and Western is a nostalgic look back at a bygone era that will stir memories for many who have seen these scenes before. The book presents a unique perspective on British Railways during this period.
