Book – The Beaten Track – Vol 3

Description

Volume 1 of The Beaten Track was released in 2021. Its combination of outstanding colour photography, featuring superseded motive power and long-lost extremities of the British railway network received widespread critical acclaim and gave rise to a reprint within months, and the release of a follow-up Volume 2 in 2022.

This was followed by The Beaten Track Volume 3 in 2023 – a third selection of the best colour photography from the period 1970–1985. More than 250 high quality images illustrate an assortment of traction types, very few of which can still be seen on the main line, many at railway locations that have long since disappeared or have changed out of all recognition. In September 2024, a FOURTH volume was published, marking the success of the format.

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

This is a new book, the proceeds from which will go into the General Loco fund .
