Rex Conway's first book, Rex Conway's Steam Album, was a wonderful miscellany of images that introduced a remarkable archive of railway photographs. This book takes the reader on a steam-hauled journey on the Midland Region from Crewe, to Manchester and the industrial heartland of Lancashire, and through Cumbria to Carlisle during the golden age of steam, with many diversions along the way. This is the second in a series of books that will explore each of the BR regions. All the photographs featured in this book have been specially selected from Rex's phenomenal collection of over 65,000 images and the book is sure to appeal to railway enthusiasts far and wide.
