Industrial Railways of Southern England in Colour

Less glamorous and much less covered than the main railway lines, the industrial railways were once the lifeblood of the country and have a long and interesting history. Even in the rural south of England, industrial railways were a feature of the landscape for decades, and although they are no more, fortunately many were recorded in earlier years when they had an important role in the economy. This is the first all-colour album to look at a selection of industrial lines, of all gauges, from Kent westwards and featuring coal, chalk, oil and well as factory lines, some traversing through barren landscape and others, like at Farnborough, where the lines runs literally along the town streets!
