Book excerpt: First published in 1979, Travelling by Train in the Edwardian Age is a book for the steam train enthusiast, but it is much more than that: it is as well a fascinating social document reflecting an important aspect of Edwardian times. From boyhood memories the author calls to life the sights, sounds and smells of the railways in their heyday, when an express train was the fastest thing on earth: the unforgettable whiff of steam, coal dust, and oil; the colourful liveries of the numerous companies; the characteristic voices of the engines and their whistles; the dcor and the motion of the gaslit carriages with their strict division into classes. The author stresses that the cheap, comfortable travel was made possible by the arduous and long hours, and often dangerous labour, of drivers, foremen, signalmen and other railway staff. He pays tribute to their loyalty and expertise in the face of often exceptionally difficult circumstances and crude equipment. The author gives due attention to the important developments during the period in locomotive and rolling stock design, station architecture and signalling technology. The many rare period photographs combine with the author's vivid memories and evident enthusiasm to make this a uniquely informative and entertaining book.

Book Synopsis A Century of Sea Travel by : Christopher Deakes
Download or read book A Century of Sea Travel written by Christopher Deakes and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “handsome volume” offers a “lavishly illustrated” journey back to the golden age of steam travel through first-hand accounts and images of the passengers (Bruce Peter, author of Ship Style). A Century of Sea Travel is an eye-opening voyage through the golden years of the passenger steamship, a voyage described by the very travelers who sailed on these magnificent engineering marvels. In memoirs and letters home, diaries and the backs of postcards, the recorded experiences of every aspect of steamship travel are here relived: from details of the ships, the crew, and fellow passengers; to the food and entertainment on board; to tales of romance, accidents, and disasters; and of being dreadfully sick during storms at sea. The writers were emigrants or colonial rulers, men of letters, young men seeking their fortune, wives on their way to new homes abroad; some were rich, many were poor and escaping the hardship of downtrodden lives. All had in common the experience of voyaging at sea. Vividly brought to life by full-color and black-and-white postcards, travel posters, promotional brochures, fine art, photographs, maps, luggage labels, health inspection certificates, and itineraries, the authors have woven together word and image into a page-turning narrative that evocatively describes an age (1840–1950) now lost to time.

Book excerpt: Tourist Third Cabin offers a window into a bygone era, where the technological marvels and floating palaces of modern steamships like the Queen Mary, the France, and the Titanic transported a new breed of tourist between Europe and North America. The interwar period saw the birth of mass transatlantic tourism, and women, students, and ordinary people took to the seas in search of education, fun, and freedom. It was also a period of tumultuous social and cultural change. Historians Lorraine Coons and Alexander Varias offer an intimate glimpse of the microcosm of the changing world that was the luxury liner. From crew members to passengers, ship decor to technological innovation, through labor unrest and political upheaval, we see the social world and the business of travel at the dawn of the modern age.

Book Synopsis Confessions of A Steam-Age Ferroequinologist by : Keith Widdowson
Download or read book Confessions of A Steam-Age Ferroequinologist written by Keith Widdowson and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ferroequinologist (noun) Someone who studies the 'Iron Horse' (i.e. trains and locomotives). From the Latin ferrus 'iron' and equine 'horse' + -logist As the British steam era drew to a close, a young Keith Widdowson set out to travel on as many steam-hauled trains as possible – documenting each journey in his notebooks. In Confessions of a Steam Age Ferroequinologist, he cracks these books open and blows off the dust. His self-imposed mission, that of riding behind as many Iron Horses as possible prior to their premature annihilation, led to hours of nocturnal travels, extended periods of inactivity in station waiting rooms, missed connections and fatigue. However, any downsides of his quest were compensated by the camaraderie found amongst a group of like-minded colleagues who congregated on such trains. This is a book that no self-respecting ferroequinologist should be without.
