Yesterday's Railways: Recollections of an Age of Steam and the Golden Age of Railways (Trains)

By Peter Herring

This work recalls an era when a train journey remained an adventure, and when the steam locomotives that made the journey possible were a source of awe and fascination. It includes a comprehensive history of Britain's railways from the groundbreaking years of the 1900s to the day in August 1968 that the fires were put out for the last time.
