Description
Book SynopsisRailway Memories No.33 reveals a whole treasure chest of inspirational railway scenes throughout North West England that are no longer there to be appreciated in real life. Steam era scenes predominate but there are also vintage electric trains for which the North West has a notable place in history. The 260 black and white photos range from steam trains on the long lost branch lines of the Lancashire coalfield and the great termini of Manchester and Liverpool to steam-hauled London-Glasgow expresses fighting their way up to Shap summit in the Cumbrian fells. A few classic diesels are included but no picture is later than the British Rail era.
