Following the 'end of steam' on BR in 1968, the future looked
gloomy indeed for enthusiasts, made even more so by the prospect of
closure of what many considered the epitome of railway routes in
England, the Settle and Carlisle line. Against that backdrop, this
book was conceived. A companion for the journey which sets out the
background to the line, some of the characters who where its
driving force, the main features of the route itself and some of
the locomotives which grace the tracks today. Photographs
illustrate and explain the view from the carriage window and from
trackside as your train makes its way towards Carlisle. Pennine
weather is shown in all its glory, as no matter what conditions
prevail, locomotive and crew endeavour to battle Northwards from
Settle over the Backbone of England.
