Industrial Locomotives & Railways of Cumbria

Description:

About this item:

The industrial and minor railways of the former counties of Cumberland and Westmorland are neglected topics deserving of greater attention. West Cumberland has traditionally been a mining, steel-making and quarrying region, with some areas of rail-served industry surviving today. Standard and narrow gauge railways and their locomotives have supported these industries for over a century, a small number even surviving into the twenty-first century. Gordon Edgar uses his excellent collection of photographs to explore these fascinating railways and their locomotives.

First rate photography coupled with well researched captions and background information. Sympathetic presentation and a sad picture of the de-industrialization of a large area of the country.
