Description
Western Steam 1948-1966 by B. W. L. Brooksbank and Peter Tuffrey is a comprehensive collection of photographs showcasing the twilight years of steam railways in the Western Region. The book features nearly three hundred images, including rare shots from the post-Nationalisation period, capturing locomotives in various locations such as trunk routes, branch lines, stations, goods yards, engine depots, and main workshops. The collection highlights characteristic classes of locomotives specific to the area, including those built by Collett, Churchward, and Hawksworth. The photographs are accompanied by informative captions providing details about the locomotives, stations, sheds, and locations featured in the images. Spanning a wide geographic area, the Western Region covered many places, from Totnes to Wrexham, offering a unique glimpse into this era of British railway history.
