Updated edition of a volume that is often referred to as the Bible among West Coast railway enthusiasts. Covers the birth of railways from Wessex to Cornwall -- their origin, planning, construction, operation and often their closing amidst some of the most picturesque countryside in the nation. The railways brought this remote region within a few hours of London, probably the most important economic and social event in the region's history. The book also interweaves the story of Issambard Kingdom Brunel and his efforts to build a broad gauge network. Illustrated with black and white photos and maps, including a foldout one attached to the rear board. 313 pages with index.

These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.
