With dramatic and previously unpublished images, Steam in the
North: Railways in the 1960s across the North of England is more
than just a book of record. It places an emphasis on what it felt
like to be there - the emotions, sounds and impressions that this
poignant period triggered. Also included are recollections of the
challenges faced by enthusiasts ranging from the discouraging
attitudes of railway staff to the hair-raising experiences of the
ambitious hitchhiker. Complementing the author's previous books on
steam power in the North East, this book covers the Midland and
West Coast mainlines, as well as Lancashire and Yorkshire as
British Railways' working steam fleet approached its inevitable
end. The images look at the environment for working steam in its
final months - the empty fells and rainy platforms, the gritty
outline, hard-working freight as well as express passenger
services. They will bring back nostalgic memories for those who
remember the railway network in the 1960s, but also appeal to those
who enjoy dramatic scenes of the Pennines and the industrial parts
of northern England.
