Great Western Branch Line Gallery
This book is a gallery of more than two hundred photographs, including a color section, featuring a selection of Great Western Railway/British Railways (Western) branch lines and similar services taken between 1900 and 1965. Generally, images depict working trains surrounded by recognizable infrastructure, often with station nameboards visible. The emphasis is pictorial rather than factual with the aim of using photographs provided by two transport charities as well as the author, all of which are unlikely to have appeared previously in print or on the Internet.
Most of the branch lines covered were victims of the 1960s "Beeching Axe", with closure to passengers or complete closure coming even Such pictures should be of particular interest to railway modelers as well as invoking nostalgia for the older generation who were pursuing their hobby around the time the pictures were taken.
