Steaming through Britain
A History of the Nation's Railways
Chris EllisPostscript summary
Starting with the very earliest use of rails - hundreds of years before Stephenson's Rocket or the Stockton and Darlington Railway - this richly illustrated history follows the whole sequence of the development of the railways in Britain up to the present day. Chapters deal with 'railway mania' in the mid 19th century; the amalgamation of companies into the 'Big Four'; railways in wartime; the coming of diesels; the Beeching report and modernization; and today's preservation railways.
