The heritage railways of Britain have taken preserved steam into a
new golden age. All over the country enthusiasts flock to lavish
love and attention on the preserved railways and relive bygone
eras, especially the ever-popular 1940s re-enactments. But the
appeal doesn't only lie in recreating the past; this movement is
also forging a new present. The Flying Scotsman ran once again on
the main line in 2016 to great acclaim across the country, with
crowds lining up to witness the spectacle. In a celebration of the
evocative world of Britain's heritage steam railways, Geoff Swaine
reflects on the work involved in keeping the preserved railways
going, as well as the history of the 'Big Four' and insights into
many of the heritage sites, alongside an array of striking
photographs that bring the preserved railways vividly to life.
