Southern Way: Special Issue No 17

The Southern Railway Oil-Burning Engines: 1946–1951

Kevin Robertson
New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

In 1946, to save coal for export, Britain’s post-war government ordered rail companies to convert their steam locomotives to oil. Extensively illustrated with period photographs and drawing on duty rosters and interviews with surviving railwaymen, this survey details the engines adapted by the Southern, and explains the modifications made during this short-lived experiment.
