Written shortly after World War II, this book is a loving tribute to the pre-war steam trains that were, even then, rushing towards their final days. This is not a reference book but a sympathetic attempt to recall what the old British railway systems and their trains were like. "Surely it was always summer when we made our first railway journeys! Only from later boyhood do we remember what fog was like at Liverpool Street, with the little North London engines puffing high-up and unseen, in and out of Broad Street next door, and with the Westinghouse pumps of the Great Eastern panting so furiously amid the Plutonian murk close at hand..." Illustrated with black and white photos as well as color frontispiece. Covers trains of London, Scotland, Ireland, carriages and racing day. 196 pages with index.
