Description
Tracing Lost Railways by Trevor Yorke is a unique guide to the remnants of disused railways. Following the drastic railway closures of the 1960s, many miles of infrastructure fell into decay, leaving behind a wealth of clues to our railway heritage. This colourfully illustrated book helps you decipher the fascinating features that remain today, from embankments and cuttings to converted buildings and old railway furniture. You'll learn how to trace old routes on maps, understand their original functions, and form a mental picture of a line in its heyday.
