The Railway Era: Life and Lines in the Great Age of Railways by Geoffrey Body….
From the middle of the last century to the middle of this, there can have been few lives not touched by the railways in one way or another. And while there are many books about railway history, locomotives and rolling-stock, few set these fascinating subjects in their wider context of the primary railway function, unchanged over the 125 years of the Steam Age, the carrying of people and goods.
Railwayman, road operator, author and publisher, Geoffrey Body has distilled his experience of many years in the industry to paint this vivid portrait of the Great Age of Railways, its history and operation, its achievements and its atmosphere.
