Items related to Covering My Tracks: Recollections of the End of Steam
Synopsis
An evocative and instructive look at the end of the steam age and the resulting ruins that lie about the British landscape. The author took color photos as the last steam locomotives rolled by and then twenty-five years later, went back to take more photos that reflect the changes that have been wrought in the name of transportation progress. He takes us to once busy junctions where skeletal single tracks maintain a minimal service and to wildernesses of vines where formerly there was industry and vitality. His atmospheric and evocative photos are supplemented by a thoughtful and impassioned text about the monuments and follies that remain from our own ancient civilization -- the Steam Age. 192 pages with index.
