Celebrating 150 years of the smallest of the companies formed in the Grouping era in the early 1920s, this book captures the heart of the Southern Railway. With its Golden Arrow Pullman service and its Through Night Ferry operations, the Southern had very special Continental associations, while its achievements in World War II - including its part in the evacuation from Dunkirk - are legendary. It also presided over the world's largest suburban electrification. This book is an exploration of everything that made this railway special.

Sr 150: A Century and a Half of the Southern Railway

This is the remarkable tale of 150 years of the London Midland &amp; Scottish Railway. Rich with detail and full of evocative images, this book recounts the history of this great railway using vivid personal accounts. Created in 1923, the LMS railway built some of the world's finest locomotives and its passenger coaches set new standards, while there was romance even in the everyday business of carrying prodigious quantities of coal and serving isolated hilltop communities.

There is authoritative coverage of every aspect of country railways, from the stations to the engines, from passengers to the men who operated the trains, the bustle of activity, and the long, lazy summer days. Throughout are a wealth of anecdotes and quotations, cameo studies and superb illustrations.

Seen through the lens of renowned railway photographer Bishop Eric Treacy, Treacy's British Rail is a collection of more than 250 photographs capturing the irrevocable change that the founding of the British Rail had on the history of transportation. 
Offering an evocative, personal view of the demise of steam and the introduction and development of diesel and electric engines, Treacy brings to life the majesty of this season of change, depicting scenes that can no longer be photographed. Sure to cast the magical spell of the railway over any reader, this book is the perfect gift for any locomotive, history or transportation enthusiast.

A Passion For Steam

The steam locomotive was the first "machine" to transport people faster than animals had, and it led to enormous social and economic change, finally becoming a cult object in itself. The passion associated with the affinity surrounding the steam engine willingly surpasses all reason and has led to a myriad of heartfelt prose. This book aims to get close to the heart of the matter, combining technical knowledge with nostalgia and photographs dedicated to this unique form of power.
