Book excerpt: The age of steam locomotives lasted for over a century but was brought to an end in just a few short years, not only on British Railways but also on the many private and 'industrial' lines. Richard Gaunt's nostalgic collection of photographs looks back to the end of this era in the North East, beautifully capturing steam's fading glory with pictures of everything from glamorous expresses to the often overlooked heavy freight and shunting operations. Steam Around Darlington will evoke powerful memories for all those who knew the region - spanning Sunderland and Hartlepool as well as Darlington - in the 1960s, while also appealing to anyone with a wider interest in the railways, and those who simply enjoy dramatic photographs of timeless industrial scenes.

Book excerpt: Steam locomotives disappeared from Darlington in 1966, when the loco works and shed were closed. This collection of photographs from the last decade of steam - focusing especially on the last three years - includes Darlington-based engines as well as main-line expresses and freights passing through. As steam's domination came to an end, and railway centres all over the country closed down, locos from other regions were repaired at the North Road works: this was busy right up to its last days, and David Burden was there with his camera. David's photographs, part of a collection of over 4000, are all informatively captioned. Anecdotes of his time as an apprentice at the North Road works are also included.

Download or read book Fire and Steam written by Christian Wolmar and published by Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, Fire and Steam tells the dramatic story of the people and events that shaped the world's first railway network, one of the most impressive engineering achievements in history. The opening of the pioneering Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1830 marked the beginning of the railways' vital role in changing the face of Britain. Fire and Steam celebrates the vision and determination of the ambitious Victorian pioneers who developed this revolutionary transport system and the navvies who cut through the land to enable a country-wide network to emerge. The rise of the steam train allowed goods and people to circulate around Britain as never before, stimulating the growth of towns and industry, as well many of the facets of modern life, from fish and chips to professional football. From the early days of steam to electrification, via the railways' magnificent contribution in two world wars, the checkered history of British Rail, and the buoyant future of the train, Fire and Steam examines the social and economical importance of the railway and how it helped to form the Britain of today.

Download or read book Steam in the North written by Richard Gaunt and published by . This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previously unpublished images of steam engines at work on the railways of Northern England in the 1960s. Complementing the author's previous books on steam power in the North East, this book covers the Midland and West Coast main lines, as well as Lancashire and Yorkshire, as British Railways' working steam fleet approached its end. The images look at the environment for working steam in its final months - the empty fells and rainy platforms, the gritty routine, hard-working freight as well as express passenger services. They will bring back nostalgic memories for those who remember the railway network in the 1960s, but also appeal to those who enjoy dramatic scenes of the Pennines and the industrial parts of northern England.
