As we recall the recent forty-fifth anniversary of the end of steam
working on British Rail, Steam North West is a fascinating journey
along the West Coast mainline from Crewe to Carlisle, also visiting
a number of lines which made a junction with this vital railway
artery. Set in the final two years of steam working in North West
England, we call in at well known places such as Preston and some
less well known like Heysham and Barrow. Also included are visits
to the last remaining steam sheds and infrastructure of the steam
railway. Views range from the industrial and suburban scene to the
beauty of the Northern Fells. Steam North West concludes with a
look at the very end of steam working on British Rail in August
1968 with the very last workings recalled with a final tribute to
the steam era by night. Many memories are remembered with a wealth
of colour material, mostly previously unpublished and nearly all
taken from the author's private collection.
