Book – The Beaten Track – Vol 1

Description

176 printed A4 pages filled with colour photographs covering the period 1970-1985.

The Beaten Track illustrates a very different railway to that of today, when a multitude of railway locations, locomotive types and some longstanding practices were fast disappearing. It takes the reader to a variety of locations, many of which have now become long-lost extremities of the British railway network. The images show an assortment of traction types, very few of which can still be seen on the main line.

All the photographs are in colour and all are accompanied by extensive captions, containing considerable historical and anecdotal information relating to the lines, stations and trains depicted.
