Reader's note

This excellent vintage title really demonstrates to the reader the full history of the British rail industry. The British steam locomotive had an effective working life of slightly over 150 years. Initially the isolated invention of a wayward Cornish genius called Richard Trevithick, by 1815 it had been put into useful employment on colliery railways in the north-east, largely through the efforts of such engineers as George Stephenson, William Hedley and John Blenkinsop. On 5th August 1968, every single train running on the standard gauge British Rail network was, for the first time in history, powered exclusively by diesel or electric traction. On that day, the forlorn remnants of the once vast steam locomotives could be found cold and derelict outside the surviving depots in Lancashire. Truly nostalgic and thoroughly emotive, this title is a great addition to any home library.
