Publisher's Synopsis
Bringing together around 5,000 square miles of land, the West Midlands region boasted a diverse system of railways. These ranged from the main lines connecting the north and south of Britain to small branches, as well as cross-country routes and local lines. This book records this area in the 1948-1967 period - using nearly 250 colour and black-and-white images - when the days of steam reached their peak.
