Description
The Branch Lines of Devon Exeter, South, Central and East Devon by Colin Maggs is a comprehensive history of the railway lines in this region. This absorbing book covers over 160 years of rail travel in Devon, featuring a wide range of branch lines that were built to serve the local communities. From the commuter-friendly Exmouth line to the Culm Valley Light Railway, which required special locomotives and rolling stock, these branch lines played an important role in the county's transportation network. Many of these lines have been preserved, including parts of the Seaton line, now a narrow-gauge electric tramway, and the Dartmouth Steam Railway, capable of taking main-line engines. Well illustrated with over 200 photographs, ephemera, and maps, this book will appeal to both railway enthusiasts and local historians.
