No 38 West Wales (British Railways Past and Present)

‘British Railways Past and Present’ is a nationwide series of books featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades ago which are compared with a picture capturing the same scene today. Given the current pace of change on our railways, this book gives an insight into old stations and locomotives - all of which will soon be a distant memory as modernisation continues to change the face of our railways. Terry Gough accounts for every aspect of the picture in his captions - locomotive and rolling stock, landscapes and people. Far from being a book just for the railway enthusiast, it has appeal for anyone fascinated by the recent history of the area. In this volume on West Wales, covering the area to the west of locations featured in South Wales part 3, are over 200 photographs featuring * Great Western lines Aberystwyth * The South Wales main line's final stretch to Fishgaurd Harbour * The railways of Carmarthen * The Docks at Pembroke and Milford Haven * The Branches to Newcastle Emlyn,, Aberayron, Cardigan and many more
