This book illustrates the work of Network Rail over the past eight
years to transform the Western Region from a diesel-only railway,
with track layouts from the 1960s and '70s, to a modern electrified
railway on the core Paddington to Cardiff and Newbury section, with
enhanced capability, new signalling systems, and widespread
equipment renewal, including the new station and flyovers at
Reading. Using never before published photographs of the upgrade
and renewal work both under way and completed, it gives an insight
into the work involved. The book does not just encompass the core
section of upgrade work, but also extends into Wales, Devon and
Cornwall, emphasising the widespread nature of the work. Lavishly
illustrated, it also includes track diagrams of new layouts, the
campaign diagrams utilised during the big blockade works, and
tables showing key stages of the works and milestones attained.
Engineering Experiment Station Series No. 43. Bulletin Of The
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, V33, No. 7, March, 1940.
