This volume explores the North West of England, through the county of Lancashire to the open fells of Westmorland. The atmospheric photographs cover steam, diesel and electric traction, express, freight and humble shunting engines. Everything from ‘Coronations’, ‘Royal Scots’ and ‘Jubilees’ to the now long-forgotten electric units on the Lancaster to Morecambe and Heysham line. There is extensive coverage of freight working, including the rarely photographed lines around St. Helens, finishing off with a study of the final year of steam operation around Carnforth. There is a mix of action and depot pictures, as well as plenty of unusual and ‘quirky’ shots, backed up by extensive and informative captions – all in all a perfect companion to the previous volumes in the series.
