The final volume in this definitive series on Britain's railway history. Complementing Thomas's Volume 6 covering the railways of the Scottish Lowlands, this volume focuses on the detailed story of all the railways north of the Perth, including the rich Fife, Tayside and Grampian regions, as well as the Highlands. We thus meet some of Britain's very earliest industrial railways in Fife as well as the promoters, engineers, and operators of railways penetrating ever further north through some of the nation's most difficult as well as spectacular terrain. Feuds and financing, glorious royal visits, terrible disasters such as the collapse of the first Tay Bridge, wartime traffic, amalgamation in 1923, the changing fortunes of the East and West Coast fishing fleets and ports, the variety of through services, the rise of the great hotels, the fortunes of the scenic routes under nationalization -- it's all here, along with the fascinating details of building and operating main and branch lines and the locomotives that ran over them. Illustrated with black and white photos. With map attached to rear board. 336 pages with index.
