Rise and Fall of British Railways Zusammenfassung

Rise and Fall of British Railways: Goods & Freight John Vaughan

Until road transport began to make inroads into the goods and freight monopoly enjoyed by the railways, there were thousands of goods yards throughout the UK and every conceivable commodity was transported in railway wagons. This lavishly illustrated book tells the story of the evolution of freight services and the 'Rise and Fall' of the local goods train, from the early days to the modern privatised railway and from the steam age to today's modern traction era, with particular emphasis on the British Railways years from 1948 to 1997.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Over 350 quality images of goods and freight trains nationwide recorded during the past 100 years, covering both the steam age and the modern traction era. Extended captions to photographs, featuring a plethora of facts and figures about British rail freight. Comprehensive and detailed text describing the many changes that have occurred in the goods and freight scene on Britain's railways over the past century. Contrasting illustrations comparing ancient loose-coupled goods trains hauled by wheezing steam engines with high-powered diesels hauling 2,000-tonne freights comprising 100-tonne air-braked bogie wagons. Featuring both colour and monochrome photographs, most previously unpublished, from many leading UK railway photographers and collections. Detailed analysis of the 'Beeching' years, the 'Reshaping Report' of 1963 and the recognition that wagonload freight was inevitably a loss maker for British Railways. Commentary on the future of freight by rail, including intermodal traffic, the point-to-point block load and the implications of Channel Tunnel freight traffic.
