Railway Heritage

This is the third of a new series looking in detail at the changing patterns of rail freight from 1968 to the present day which will include copious illustrations of trains and terminals throughout the period. A must for modellers and modern image enthusiasts this series will also be of considerable interest to industry and general readers with any involvement with railways today.

Following the success of the two earlier volumes in this series, covering Coal and Wagonload traffic, rail freight expert Paul Shannon now turns his attention to Bulk freight, which includes an interesting mix of traffics such as metals, aggregates (including ballast), china clay, cement, waste and petroleum.

As usual, the authoritative text is supported by many photographs, together with maps and tables as appropriate.

Together the projected four volumes in this series will build up to a concise and invaluable reference source on the varying fortunes of freight by rail from the end of steam in the 1960s and the demise of British Rail in 1994 through to the era of today’s privatised freight hauliers.

In the same series: Railfreight COAL and Railfreight WAGONLOAD
