East Anglia and the East Coast Railways
The 1950s and 1960s was a time of profound cultural and technological transformation. Trackside, at busy stations, and in and around depots, an evolving mood is revealed in pictures.In the 1950s, railway pride and optimism overcame staff shortages; returning locomotives to pre-war performance and introducing modern BR standard classes. With images and vivid recollections, we journey back to post-war East Anglia and the East Coast Main Line with many locations changed beyond recognition.
Sparkling steel, brass and tallow gave way to dust, rust and flaking paint. By the 1960s, fiscal efficiency and the dawning diesel era turned pride to neglect of steam. Heroic workhorses were lost to scrap.
As the mood turned to melancholy, just a few of these great workhorses became pets - polished, loved, and cared for by dedicated railway workers and a growing band of enthusiastic volunteers.People,
