Description
The drastic railway closures of the 1960s led to the slow decay and re-purposing of hundreds of miles of railway infrastructure. Though these buildings and apparatus are now ghosts of their former selves, countless clues to our railway heritage still remain in the form of embankments, cuttings, tunnels, converted or tumbledown wayside buildings, and old railway furniture such as signal posts.
Many disused routes are preserved in the form of cycle tracks and footpaths. This colourfully illustrated book helps you to decipher the fascinating features that remain today and to understand their original functions. It demonstrates how old routes can be traced on maps, outlines their permanent stamp on the landscape, and teaches you how to form a mental picture of a line in its heyday.
Tracing Lost Railways by Trevor Yorke is an insightful guide for anyone interested in railway history and the remnants left behind.
