Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third Midland title written by well known railway author is a history of this interesting Irish railway company which served the west of Cork, Ireland's largest county. The CB&SCR was one of the 'big four' constituents which formed the Great Southern Railways at the Irish grouping in 1925. The system operated over about 100 route miles and like so many Irish companies its history was complex and the finances were fraught at times. This is a full history with photos rather than a photographic book. It will take the story of these Cork lines up from their promotion to the closures of the 1960s. Companies which had associations with the CB&SCR, such as the Schull & Skibbereen narrow gauge line, will also be considered. Separate chapters deal with essential topics such as locomotives, including the only US built engines ever to run in Ireland, and rolling stock, the course of the line, accidents, and hotels and steamer services. It is hoped to include some scale drawings of locomotives and rolling stock for the benefit of modellers. Much of the essential reference material will be contained in the appendices at the end of the book.This will enable the narrative to flow and make the text more readable. This book will fill one of the few remaining gaps in Irish railway history. It will achive its commercial success, as have all the other Midland Irish railway titles, by selling into two distinct markets. There will be a strong local interest sale in Ireland with another market being found in the broader railway enthusiast community thoughout the British Isles.

Book excerpt: The first passenger railway in Ireland, the Dublin & Kingstown, opened for business in 1834. From modest beginnings, the railway network expanded over the next 70 years into almost every part of the country. At its greatest extent, the national network consisted of just under 3,500 route miles of track. This era of expansion was followed by an equally long period of decline which was sparked by the partition of the country, the inexorable rise of the internal combustion engine and the economic problems of the interwar years. It was only towards the end of the twentieth century that the fortunes of the railways at last began to recover. Irish Railways, written by one of the leading historians of Ireland's railways, provides many insights into the social and economic effects of the railways. This is a story rich in human interest, a tale of triumph and tragedy, superb achievement and monumental incompetence, which will appeal to all who have even a passing interest in this most romantic of human inventions.

Download or read book Ireland and the Industrial Revolution written by Andy Bielenberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph provides the first comprehensive analysis of industrial development in Ireland and its impact on Irish society between 1801-1922. Studies of Irish industrial history to date have been regionally focused or industry specific. The book addresses this problem by bringing together the economic and social dimensions of Irish industrial history during the Union between Ireland and Great Britain. In this period, British economic and political influences on Ireland were all pervasive, particularly in the industrial sphere as a consequence of the British industrial revolution. By making the Irish industrial story more relevant to a wider national and international audience and by adopting a more multi-disciplinary approach which challenges many of the received wisdoms derived from narrow regional or single industry studies - this book will be of interest to economic historians across the globe as well as all those interested in Irish history more generally.

Download or read book Lost Railways of the World written by Nigel Welbourn and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2023-02-16 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many readers will be familiar with Nigel Welbourn’s long running series of books, covering lost railways in Britain and Ireland. This new book Lost Railways of the World is the latest by this author on the subject of disused railways. The material for this volume has been collected and researched over a period of almost fifty years of world travel by the author. Informative text records the fortunes of the world’s lost railways and every country with significant disused railways is included. Lost railways are a unifying theme, being found throughout the world, from the hottest African desert to the coldest steppes of Russia. The book has a surprisingly British flavor as historically many railways throughout the world used British equipment and operating practices. On his first trip in the 1970s the author discovered British signaling equipment in Europe. In 2020 he discovered the same firms’ equipment in South America. The world’s top ten lost lines are listed, from the seven-mile-long sea bridge on a line that ran through the Florida Keys, to the rugged mountain splendor of the Khyber Pass Railway. Some of the oldest, largest, longest, most northerly, southerly, expensive, crookedest, steepest, highest, lowest and most notorious lost railways are included. Quirky and other unique tales from lost railways are included, such as the disappearing phantom bridge, a line destroyed by molten lava, to one that sank under the sea, another that conveyed giant turtles, to a memorial to a brave railway elephant. The author also visited remote areas of Argentina and provides more information on the mysterious disappearance of the ex-Lynton & Barnstaple Railway locomotive Lew. A large number of the 300 color illustrations have not been published before, maps and stories from around the world will delight not only the railway enthusiast, but appeal to a wider cadre of readers with an interest in nostalgia, history, geography and travel. To some the book will be an informative source of information, to others it is written in a way that highlights the most amazing lost railways in the world, but either way it is a fascinating and unique book.
