Synopsis: Unique in its coverage, evocative and beautifully illustrated, this celebration of the British country lines in their heyday captures the total experience of railway life--the sights, the sounds, the smells, the very essence of the steam age. There is authoritative coverage of every aspect of country railways, from the stations to the engines, from passengers to the men who operated the trains, the bustle of activity, and the long, lazy summer days. Throughout are a wealth of anecdotes and quotations, cameo studies and superb illustrations.
