Southern Way Special Issue No 7: Southern Colour in the Sixties: a Further Selection

In 2008 Terry Cole produced his first color album featuring the branch and secondary lines of Sussex and Hampshire. Now he continues the theme by adding to the Southern Way Special issue series with a volume outlining the sixties. Cole draws upon a further selection of previously unseen color images depicting the railway as it used to be back in a time that some of us remember and others can only imagine. Steam-hauled branch line passenger trains, local goods trains, and the early diesel units-all scenes we took for granted, but now, like the routes themselves, long consigned to history. Cole integrates quality descriptions with a variety of color images to present this fascinating and enchanting look back into sixties.
