Publisher's Synopsis
The author applies his intimate knowledge of Dartmoor to provide the reader with a detailed history of its railways. Of particular interest are the many photographs from the author's collection taken when the lines were in use, or in the throes of being dismantled, comparing them with photographs of the same scene today. These, combined with historic photographs from the Dartmoor Trust Archive and other sources, create a book that will prove fascinating not only to the railway enthusiast but also to the general reader.
