Dumfries and Galloway's Last Days of Steam

Meer over het boek

In this volume of Bill Smith's series on Scottish steam, we relive the final days of the Port Road when people lined the route six-deep to wave the last service goodbye. The complicated branch lines of this vast area are very well covered and the 55 photographs, all taken by the author, are enhanced by his detailed captions. Steam engines feature throughout, working hard at locations which include Beattock, the Beattock Bank, Beattock Summit, Canonbie, Castle Douglas, Creetown, Crossmichael, Dalbeattie, Dumfries, Dunragit, Elvanfoot, Gatehouse of Fleet, Greskine, Harthope, Kirkconnel, Kirkinner, Kirkcudbright, Loch Skerrow, Lockerbie, Moffat, Nethercleugh, Parton, Sanquhar and Stranraer.
