The Railways of Wharfedale, (Standard railway histories)

Peter E. Baughan

A.M. Kelley

Fascinating history of how the North Eastern and the Midland Railways, after years of skirmishing, were able to cooperate in building a joint line -- the Otley and Ilkley Joint line -- that eventually extended throughout the Vale of the Wharfe. The book describes the area, early Wharfedale railways, the decision to build the Joint line, a clear description of the various extensions and branch lines (1862-1947), and an equally clear description of the slow but inexorable pruning that occurred after nationalisation (1947-1969). With thorough chapters on operations, locomotives, rolling stock, and train service. Illustrated with black and white photos & color frontispiece. 272 pages.
