Railways Through the Ages by John Legg Ian Peaty

Railways Through the Ages by John Legg Ian Peaty

From their early beginnings until today, railways have been an important part of the industrial and commercial fabric of the UK with lines running to all major towns and cities providing necessary connections for both freight and passengers. In past decades an abundance of both standard and narrow gauge railways existed, working small branch lines connecting both outlying villages and industrial sites with small private networks. Most have closed, but some have successfully resurrected themselves as heritage railways mainly supported by loyal volunteers. However, some industrial sites still have flourishing internal railways that connect to our National Network. Also, railway infrastructure has modernized to reflect the times we live in.It is impossible to include all these railways worthy of mention in this book, but have chosen a cross section that we believe the reader will find interesting. The book includes a mixture of old and new, standard gauge, narrow gauge, industrial, heritage lines, stations and infra structure. Some areas have been included as they have interesting mixtures of the above and others because they offer unique insights in what used to be.

Legg: - After ministering for over forty years in North Yorkshire and Shrewsbury, John Legg has retired to Cardiff, South Wales. Other books, also published by Evangelical Press, include The Church that Christ built and The transforming power of God: encountering Christ in the life of Elisha.
