The drastic railway closures of the 1960s led to the slow decay and
re-purposing of hundreds of miles of railway infrastructure. Though
these buildings and apparatus are now ghosts of their former
selves, countless clues to our railway heritage still remain in the
form of embankments, cuttings, tunnels, converted or tumbledown
wayside buildings, and old railway furniture such as signal posts.
Many disused routes are preserved in the form of cycle tracks and
footpaths. This colourfully illustrated book helps you to decipher
the fascinating features that remain today and to understand their
original functions, demonstrating how old routes can be traced on
maps, outlining their permanent stamp on the landscape, and
teaching you how to form a mental picture of a line in its heyday.
