Life on the Old Railways
Author: Tom Quinn
Publisher: David & Charles
ISBN: 1446355233
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Drivers, signalmen, stationmasters and more share their stories of working on steam trains. Take a step back into the world of steam railways, and discover the reality of life and work on Britain's railway system before the Beeching cuts and the introduction of diesel changed it forever. Tom Quinn has sought out a fascinating range of characters who recount their experiences of working on steam trains. From a shedmaster to a fireman, from an engine driver to a signalman, tales of accidents and mishaps, evenings round the fire in the worker's common room, and the perils of left luggage in the days when almost anything might—and frequently did—turn up! These remarkable reminiscences paint a vivid picture of life on the old railways when Britain's railway system was the envy of the world.

Life in a Railway Factory
Author: Alfred Williams
Publisher: London : Duckworth
ISBN:
Category : Railroad equipment industry
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
A man who for 23 years worked in the railway factory at Swindon writes about life as a hotter and stamper. An idealist with his feet on the ground, the author had some reputation as a poet while still at work and was unable to publish this account until illness drove him to leave the factory because the truth would cost him his job. He is appreciative of man's generosity and sense of fair play, his skill and strength, but scornful of his inhumanity and ruthlessness.
