Lost Railways of Somerset by Stan Yorke

The first railway line to reach Somerset came from Bristol and was part of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company's main line through the West Country. Somerset's railway heyday stretched into the 1950s when holiday-makers would come from London, the Midlands and North of England to enjoy the county's seaside resorts. During the 1960's many lines were closed, but today you can savour the experience of steam locomotion on the Taunton to Minehead line preserved by the West Somerset Railway Company.
