In Volume 1 the growth of the prin-cipal sections of the system was described. The various extensions, cut-off lines, widenings and other im-provements together with jointly owned or operated lines are dealt with in the first five chapters of this volume. The remaining five chapters describe electrification, maritime activities, the locomotive, carriage and wagon departments and workshops, with much fresh biographical information on the engineers, and finally operation and administration. In the course of his researches the author unearthed portraits of engineers such as Jenkins, Hurst, Yates, Fay, Bar-ton Wright and Hoy which had never been published and which are included in this volume together with many other rare illustrations. A large number of appendices include a full chronology giving all opening dates and a list of all Acts of Parliament concerned with the LYR. A third volume is in preparation to present a history of the locomotives and rolling stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback with dust jacket, 327 Pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good with mild foxing to edge of some pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David \u0026 Charles","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (285)","offer_id":57831694729599,"sku":"9780715349069","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/files\/9780715349069.jpg?v=1782378683","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/the-lancashire-yorkshire-railway-volume-2-9780715349069","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
