Description
The Severn Tunnel Junction was once the largest freight marshalling yard on the Western Region of British Railways, stretching over two miles along the River Severn's Welsh bank. This book tells the story of its beginnings and expansion, set within the wider historical context of the site.
With more than 150 photographs, it documents the methods of working at the junction, recalling the locos, freight and passenger trains that travelled the lines. The people who worked and lived there are also remembered in this detailed account.
This book provides a unique insight into the Severn Tunnel Junction's history, from its early days to its impact on the local community during times of war.
