Books by Norman Johnston

Norman Johnston has been a railway enthusiast for as long as he can remember. He began writing on railways in 1992 and has been the author, or joint author, of six other railway books, including 'The Fintona Horse Tram', 'Fermanagh's Railways', 'LNERa Locomotives in colour' and, most notably, 'Locomotives of the GNR(I)'. Norman spent most of his working life in Co Tyrone before retiring from teaching in 1996 to concentrate on publishing and writing. The photograph, appropriately, shows him alongside Giant's Causeway Railway No 1 'Tyrone', which previously ran on the Shane's Castle Railway. Norman has no difficulty in finding a publisher, since he is a founder and joint partner of Colourpoint Books. As well as his own books he spends a lot of his time editing those of other Colourpoint authors. He is married with two sons, both of whom are in the family publishing business. Norman would especially like to thank a number of people who have assisted with this book, either by lending photographs and slides, assisting with drawings or reading the manuscript. In alphabetical order they are Des Coakham, Joe Curran, Mark Kennedy, Michael Kennedy, John Langford, Pat O'Connell, Jack Patience, Keith Pirt, Paul Savage, David Soggie, Drew Sucksmith, Ron White and Richard Whitford.
