| | Cornwall, with its dramatic scenery, magnificent harbours and scenic branch lines, has for decades attracted many of the best railway photographers. This large-format photographic portrait focuses on Cornish railways and the many changes that have occurred to them over the past 40 years. The book provides a stunning record not only of Cornwall's diverse railways and imposing viaducts, but also of the attractive countryside and coastal areas through which they run. Cornish Railways is a modern pictorial history of railway operations in the county, from the halcyon days of British Railways to the current era of privatisation. It illustrates the changing face of motive power and the trains themselves, many of which have long since disappeared from the railway scene. From diesel hydraulic and diesel electric locomotives and first generation DMUs to the arrival of today's sleek units and high-powered freight engines, all are included in over 185 fascinating images, supported by detailed and informative captions.
