Charlie Emett, ex-railwayman, author, and historian, has collected a fascinating selection of more than 250 photographs, all informatively captioned. His compilation takes the reader on a journey from these pioneering beginnings, through the revolutionary age of steam and the diesel era, to the birth of the electric expresses, drawn by the most powerful locomotives ever to run in Britain. All County Durhams branch lines, past and present, are included in this pictorial guide, together with the East Coast main line, while the importance of Darlingtons workshops and Shildons wagon works is not forgotten. Famous engines, signaling systems, personalities, and events of the region are all recorded here, offering the reader a comprehensive picture of railway life over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51952429236512,"sku":"NEW0752449559","price":40.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/durham-railways-britains-railways-in-old-photographs-0752449559","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
