CORNISH RAILWAYS
his must-have book for all fans of steam
This features photographs from the collection of Maurice Dart, Cornwall-based photographer and authority on Westcountry railways. This volume covers the period from the earliest days of photography through to the end of the age of steam on railways throughout Cornwall. Here are rare photographs, many of them taken by the author, of mainline locomotives and private and industrial lines, many of which no longer exist. Each is accompanied by the author's own text, unique reminiscences of the Golden Age of railways. The author writes:
"The photos in this album have been chosen from my collection of many thousands of railway scenes, with the remainder carefully selected from other sources. Together they present an overall view of the many types of locomotives which have worked in the Duchy since late in the nineteenth century. Along with the engines much of what is nowadays termed 'railway infrastructure' is included in the photos together with a varied selection of rolling stock To present an overall picture of railway operations I have included a section covering diesel traction which includes some photos taken within the past few years. I have attempted to include as wide a variety of locations as possible to cover the locomotive scene on the main line, on branch lines, in goods yards and at locomotive sheds. It is hoped that the book will appeal not only to railway enthusiasts but also to readers seeking photos of local areas. The detail contained in many of the photos may be of assistance to railway modellers of certain periods. I hope that this collection of photos will help to recall the magic and nostalgia that the sight of working steam locomotives induce in much of the populace."
