Download or read book Goods Trains written by Tim Bryan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever watched wagon after wagon of a goods train thunder past and wondered where it is heading, what it is carrying, and how it works its way between the passenger services? While goods services now tend to be shrouded in anonymity, in past times they were celebrated, prominently advertised, and in many cases were the raisons d'être for a rail route. Throughout the nineteenth and much of the twentieth century, goods trains were the lifeblood of the nation, transporting precious raw materials, construction and industrial items, and fresh produce from coastal areas and farms into the centres of bustling cities. This informative illustrated history shows how rail freight has been carried since Victorian times, and how systems have been organized, from the train itself to the sidings, railway clearing houses, goods sheds and final destinations – whether villages, towns, cities, factories or docks. It also examines the basic rolling stock of these trains, from the humble coal wagon to today's hi-tech containers.

Download or read book Wagons of the Early British Railways Era written by David Larkin and published by Kestrel Railway Books. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Larkin is well-known for his study of British Railways goods wagons, and this new work pays particular attention to those ordered by BR in the earliest years of its existence. The Big Four pre-Nationalisation companies all had outstanding wagon orders under construction in 1948, and these continued to be delivered with their original numbers, albeit with new prefix letters. In addition, the newly-created BR acquired a fleet of wagons from the erstwhile Ministry of War Transport. These are also considered in this book, together with the early BR orders for wagons based on existing Big Four designs and on its own early standard designs in the period up to the eve of the Modernisation Plan of 1955. Profusely illustrated, this book includes Lot and Diagram details, wagon number ranges, information on the builders and livery details. The wagons featured are very diverse and include Lowfits wagons, open wagons, containers and container wagons, mineral wagons, ventilated vans, railtanks, cattle wagons and brake vans.
