{"product_id":"the-last-days-of-steam-in-gloucestershire-9780862997779","title":"The Last Days of Steam in Gloucestershire: A Second Selection","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing on the success of the first volume, The Last Days of Steam in Gloucestershire, here is a second superb collection of photographs depicting the railways of Gloucester-shire during the revolutionary period of 1959 to 1966. At the beginning of this period, steam was still dominant, branch lines were still operating and stations and halts were prolific. By 1966 diesel power had usurped the steam locomotive, many of the branch lines were closed and only a small number of stations remained in daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book Ben Ashworth has provided over 200 evocative and atmospheric photographs which capture the changing world of Gloucestershire's railways, including a section on Gloucester Docks. Many of the pictures have been never published before, and the book will provide a permanent record of interest to railway buffs, social historians, and anyone with an enthusiasm for the age of steam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback with dust jacket, 138 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alan Sutton","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (275)","offer_id":39443072319597,"sku":"9780862997779","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/products\/9780862997779.jpg?v=1626118078","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/the-last-days-of-steam-in-gloucestershire-9780862997779","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
