From 1978 onwards, during the period often referred to as BR Blue,
Stephen Owens was able to photograph for posterity some of what he
saw on the railway. Some might suggest the period didn't have the
interest of the steam era - how could it? It was an era when the
railway appeared neglected and threadbare; it was being run on a
shoestring, and it looked and felt like it. Be that as it may, it
had its devotees and supporters. Some rail enthusiasts
instinctively recognised that the situation couldn't and wouldn't
last. In a way it was similar to the end of steam: the clock was
ticking, but this time no-one knew when it would stop, nor what
would follow. With a wonderful selection of images, this nostalgic
look back at the era of Rail Blue in northern England and Scotland
will delight rail enthusiasts both young and old.
