This is a book about the transition from steam to diesel and
electric traction on British Railways, covering a period from
1960-1970. The author Jim Blake, took a huge number of pictures
during this period, covering all aspects of the railway and its
operations, both in the London area, where he lived and also around
the country. This book looks at the railway scene in decline,
trying to come to terms with the post Beeching, post steam era,
before a change of political will, that has seen much rail
investment in recent times. The volume, not only looks at
locomotives and trains, but also the overall railway scene of that
decade of great change the 1960s.
