Book Synopsis Views of a Changing Railway by : Maurice Hopper
Download or read book Views of a Changing Railway written by Maurice Hopper and published by New Generation Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering a wide sweep of the railway story in the twentieth century, this book chronicles an insider's view of the changing scene. Joining the Southern Railway in 1925 as a junior clerk, Edward Hopper left the railway in 1968 from the position of Training Officer at the 222 Marylebone Road headquarters. He was a railwayman through and through, being involved with and committed to all aspects of railway life. He was especially concerned to bring about a reshaping of the railway through the development of its staff and good decision-making. The story provides insight into a neglected part of the railway, the way it trained, informed and consulted with its staff, often with approaches that were advanced for their time. This changing process is illustrated both by the example of his early career as well as the later responsibility he had for the education and training of railwaymen. At times this story may offer new insights for the more traditional reader of railway history. Chris Green (formerly of Inter City and Virgin Trains) says the book "paints a fascinating picture of the contrasting life in a private and nationalised industry, with pithy examples from the time, but above all because it traces the life of one senior manager at a time of huge change and shows just how much a determined individual can achieve in a large organisation.

From a base in Edinburgh we travel to locations across the country from Wick to Carlisle, from the scenic majesty of the West Highlands to the industrial Central Belt. There we will see; diesels and electrics in a selection of liveries on freight and passenger workings, steam on the main line and visit sheds, stations and preserved lines. This includes some more unusual places such as Cameron Toll, Prestongrange and The Isle of Mull and buildings that have been demolished such as Mallaig steam shed, Grangemouth shed and Millerhill diesel depot. This book will provide; reference material, nostalgia for some enthusiasts, a look back in time for others and for modelers, inspiration for their projects. So come and enjoy the journey.

Download or read book British Rail Scene written by Andy Sparks and published by History Press. This book was released on 2017-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking railway photographs and capturing an age of impressive locomotives and atmospheric stations is a pastime that the age of steam passed down through generations, even after its own decline in favour of diesel and electric traction. It was certainly one that avid teenage trainspotter Andy Sparks sought to take up, emulating the work of prized 1960s railway photographer Colin T. Gifford. But by the 1970s, when Andy's camera was at the ready and after Beeching's axe had come down on the British railway network, modernisation and rationalisation were rapidly sweeping away the vestiges of the previous age, and dereliction and decay intertwined much of what could be seen. Desperate to capture the scene, Andy took thousands of photographs from 1972 until the early 1980s, and his images beautifully convey the nostalgic, gritty years of that era of change on Britain's railways. From his lens to the pages of this book, this is a unique look at an oft-overlooked period of British railway history.
Book Synopsis Britain's Railways Through the Seasons by : David Goodyear
Download or read book Britain's Railways Through the Seasons written by David Goodyear and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four seasons pass by like a gliding ship, each signalled by a transformation of changing colors and hues of light, thus providing a form of marker to these passages of time. Living in the temperate zone we experience four distinct seasons. The railway scene reflects such in its own special character - cold winter air enhances the bountiful steam escaping from the hissing steam locomotive impatiently awaiting its departure, while autumn enchants with trees that exude a variety of hues which embellish any image of even the most mundane suburban train. Springtime blossom and wild flowers bestow railway cuttings with a bounty of generous bright colors while coastal railways often look most inviting on warm sunny days as they pass alongside azure seas and golden beaches. The seasons each add their own dimension for the photographer to encapsulate, and railways passing through the ever-changing landscape provide their own tribute to this inspirational tapestry. As readers travel through each season, so they are invited to share this awe and constant source of inspiration from nature's kaleidoscope of color. Photographs are provided with captions and reflective commentary to enlighten the knowledgeable rail enthusiast alongside those who equally enjoy such a portrait of landscape and scenery through the seasons. The range of photographs ranges from the mid -1980's to the present with the majority from the last two decades.
Book Synopsis Memories of Isle of Wight Railways by : Mike Jacobs
Download or read book Memories of Isle of Wight Railways written by Mike Jacobs and published by Noodle Books. This book was released on 2010-05-20 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1945 Mike Jacobs visited the Isle of Wight for the first time and was captivated by the railway system, which he innocently believed at the time to be concentrated only at Ryde. Over the years, further visits followed, including trips on the Island line to Ventnor, Bembridge, Newport, and Yarmouth. Already addicted to the charm of the Island system, it was fortunate indeed when in 1954 the family moved to Ventnor, which was to cement his fascination with the railway system. Mike Jacobs' stories of railway life half a century ago and more, seen through the eyes of both a regular passenger and an enthusiast, are unique. Written with wonderful warmth of feeling, the reader is immediately taken back to a long-forgotten time and to a quaint way of life that has now all but disappeared. Fully illustrated with plenty of rare mono illustrations, this volume captures the ever-changing railway scene beautifully.
