For countless holiday-makers, a trip to the seaside resorts of the
West Country used to mean travelling on the network of lines
operated by the Great Western and the London and South Western
railways. Before the reshaping of British Railways following the
Beeching Report in 1963, a wide variety of trains operated in
Devon. This book chronicles these trains during a period of
dramatic change, as lines were closed down, steam traction was
phased out and the thundering express and the hard-working tank
disappeared. A wealth of these lost images can be found within this
evocative collection of over 200 photographs. Comprising the work
of both amateurs and professionals, the book also reveals glimpses
of the stations, the people who worked on the lines, and of the
high days and disasters. Brought together here as a collection,
they pay homage to the great days of steam.
