Download or read book Contemporary Perspective on GWR Signalling written by Allen Jackson and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 150 years Britain's railways have relied on a system of semaphore signalling, but by 2020, all semaphore signals and lineside signal boxes will be gone. A Contemporary Perspective on GWR Signalling provides a unique record of the last operational mechanical signalling and infrastructure on Britain's railway network, as it applied to the former Great Western Railway (and lines owned jointly with other companies). It also includes a comprehensive explanation of what mechanical signalling is and how it works. Beautifully illustrated with over 400 contemporary images and with detailed information from a 2003-2014 survery, this is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in the traditional signalling systems of railways in Britain. The book covers: lineside signalling equipment - semaphore signals, brackets and gantries, and other variations; ways of working, from Absolute Block to Track Circuit Block (TCB); detailed coverage of the signal boxes and infrastructure on Network Rail, including routes through Shrewsbury, Hereford, Worcester, Cornwall, Chester and North Warwickshire; and diagrams of the major routes.

Download or read book A Pictorial Record of L M S Signal written by L. G. Warburton and published by . This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1972, this reference work on L.M.S. Signals is still held in high regard by all railway historians today and remains the definitive book on the subject. Up to that time, few books of this type had ever been produced, yet it set the scene for what would become the now expected detailed work on specific examples of railway history. Only 800 copies of the original book were produced and it has never been reprinted. Those few copies that do come on the market today command a high price, not just because of rarity value, but because of the expertise clearly demonstrated in its compilation. 38 years later, and long overdue, this is the very first paperback reprint of the original edition. With only a few minor corrections, the book remains 99% as per the original. It will be welcomed by those with an interest in signalling as well as anyone who appreciated a comprehensive and detailed railway work.

Download or read book The West Highland Lines written by Gordon D. Webster and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The railway lines of the West Highlands of Scotland are famous the world over for their illustrious history and unparalleled scenic beauty. Linking Glasgow with Oban, Fort William and Mallaig, the lines managed to survive the axe of Dr Beeching, whose infamous report forced the closure of almost a third of Britain's railways in the 1960s. With a detailed look at the routes, their workings and rolling stock since then, Webster examines how the West Highland network has gone on to prosper to the present day. Despite Beeching, British Rail's rationalisation, privatisation, fluctuating freight traffic levels and economic downturn, the network retained its unique infrastructure in the modern age. Today the use of modern traction, together with the return of steam-hauled trains, has added yet another dimension to this wonderful scenic route.
