Download or read book Locomotives of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway written by Tim Hillier-Graves and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although closed to traffic in 1966, with most of its infrastructure swiftly destroyed by British Railways, this unique railway line still lives in the minds of many, some too young to remember it in its heyday. For more then a hundred years it courted disaster and could on a number of occasions have succumbed to overpowering financial pressures, but it survived with the help of partnerships with larger, more secure companies, namely the Midland Railway and the London & South Western Railway. Later on, after the grouping in 1923, the line came under the control of the L M S and the Southern Railway. It was unfortunate that the line suffered in later years, from inter regional rivalry between the Western and Southern Regions of British Railways, which led to its eventual closure. The variety of companies involved in its running meant that during its lifetime the small pool of locomotives needed to service the line was supplemented by the best each partner could offer. So from the beginning to the end there were a myriad number of types of locomotive running over the Mendips providing a lively variety of motive power. This heavily illustrated book traces this unique and fascinating history and brings to life this singular, much missed and loved railway.

Book excerpt: Take a journey on The Somerset & Dorset Railway back to the halcyon days of steam to a time when a tablet was either taken for a headache or used to ensure only one train was on a single track section at a time, and blackberries were picked on the line-side to make a pie. The book will take you on the journey from Bath to Bournemouth describing the stations along the route and is complemented by tales from the footplate told by Somerset & Dorset men Wallace Moon and Geoff Akers. Then fast forward to the present and 50 years ago what to many was the best loved line of all was swept aside by the ruthless actions of Dr Beeching. But out of adversity comes opportunity and a spirited group of enthusiasts, all volunteers, has worked relentlessly since 1996 to lovingly restore the station at Midsomer Norton. We are now welcoming steam locomotives once again to the Somerset & Dorset Railway with the aim of edging closer and closer to Chilcompton Tunnel and beyond.

Book Synopsis Somerset & Dorset by : Jeffery Grayer
Download or read book Somerset & Dorset written by Jeffery Grayer and published by Transport Treasury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second book in the pictorial series features Dick Riley’s photography of the famous Somerset & Dorset railway. The cross-country line, also known as S&D, is one of several much-lamented lines and perhaps the most missed today. Dick Riley photographed S&D frequently in a ten-year period, starting in 1955. “Somerset & Dorset” lets you travel in time to the glory days of the line. Riley usually recorded S&D during the summer months, treating us to a wealth of views, from the “Pines Express” and other through trains to more humble passenger workings, freight and even shunted and banking duties. The infrastructure or the staff are not neglected either. Whilst the S&D may have been one of the most photographed lines in the country, Dick Riley’s views break new ground. His photographs were often taken from vantage points, rarely visited by others. His unrivalled skills make this a unique collection, a true record of one man collating the story of this once a truly remarkable railway.
