The Beaten Track Volume 2: The Traction and Extremities of Britain's Rail Network 1970-1985

A second selection of the best colour photography from 1970–1985. More than 280 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.

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

176 Pages packed with colour photographs. HARDBACK

Our book of the week will bring back memories from the mid-sixties for many of us to a time when steam was being rapidly withdrawn, branch lines and goods yards were closing thick and fast and almost all the diesels were still in green.

 

Which side were you on...
