This book contains previously unpublished photographs from the
collection of David Reed, who set out to record the end of steam
trains on British Rail's Southern Region. Also recorded here are
steam engines in the locomotive graveyards at Salisbury, Weymouth
and Barry, as well as steam engines used by London Transport. The
early steam preservation years are covered, including some
locations that no longer exist: the Great Western Society at
Taplow, Ashchurch, the Wallingford branch and the 'Marlow Donkey'
Centenary all feature. The Longmoor Military Railway open days are
pictured together with early years of the Dart Valley Railway at
Buckfastleigh and Ashburton. The Didcot Railway Centre, Dinting
Railway Centre, Ashford Steam Centre and the Sittingbourne &
Kemsley Railway are also featured, along with the iconic Bluebell
Railway.
