The railway age began in Britain when steam was king. Now in the age of petrol and diesel, these once confident, rumbustious railways no longer dominate the transport system, and yet the fascination for trains and all their works seems to have grown more intense than ever before. In THE RAILWAYS OF BRITAIN, Jack Simmons sympathetically tells their history and describes every major aspect of their equipment and operations: permanent way, buildings, locomotives, rolling stock, signalling and employment. He also makes journeys through the Pennines, Scotland, Essex and southern England on which he acts as observer and guide. Picking out the achievements of the engineers, directors and managers who created the system, and the locomotive crews and signalmen, station masters, clerks and porters who ran it during a century and a half of railway service, he creates a positive, occasionally inspiring, even moving portrait. His book is a pleasure to read: learned, succinct, packed with technical detail and yet entertaining and always admirably lucid. This new edition of one of the outstanding works of railway literature published in this century has been substantially rewritten, revised and brought up to date by the author. For the first time it has been fully illustrated in colour and black and white with more than 200 photographs, maps and engravings, many of them previously unpublished. With its large and valuable reference section at the back, this book stands out as a railway achievement in its own right. Ref NNN 6.…
