Lost Railways of Cumbria

Lost Railways of Cumbria PDF Author: Gordon Suggitt
Publisher: Countryside Books (GB)
ISBN: 9781846741074
Category : Railroads
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
From the very beginning, the geography of Cumbria conspired to prevent the spread of railways. The majority of lines were built to transport freight, but many developed passenger services. Sadly the railway age was not to last, local demand was simply not enough to keep many of the lines in operation and the services were doomed. Happily, some lines have been preserved by enthusiastic societies and reopened sections of track flourish. This well written and excellently researched book brings to life the history of Cumbria's railways. With photographs and specially drawn maps.

Cumbria's Lost Railways

Cumbria's Lost Railways PDF Author: Peter W. Robinson
Publisher: Stenlake Publishing
ISBN: 9781840332056
Category : Railroads
Languages : en
Pages : 48

Book Description
The decline of Cumbria's railway network began long before Dr. Beeching and during the 50s and 60s it was feared that it would disappear all together. By the 1990s however, it was clear that an amazing recovery was underway, with the reopening of many stations and the restoration of many freight services. Today, there is an upgraded West Coast main line and much improved high speed passenger services. Once upon a time however, there was a far bigger network which operated at a much more relaxed - and refined - pace. Featuring around 52 superb period photographs, this volume recalls the sights of that bygone era, including the long-lost Solway Viaduct, the Settle and Carlisle route, and the many rural stations that were once the lifeblood of Cumbrian communities.
