About this title

Synopsis

A significant and serious look at the Settle and Carlisle branch of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway by distinguished railroad historian, David Jenkinson. In this groundbreaking work, the author examined not just the railway but the surrounding countryside and examines the economic and social effect the railway had on its neighbors. Today this book would be called "human geography," but Jenkinson was ahead of his time. In precise and accessible prose, he uncovered the connections. Illustrated with numerous black and white photos as well as maps, statistical charts of all sorts (including agricultural and mineral), station plans, the parish map, lists of passenger bookings and takings, total freight tonnage, shed allocations, train formations, coaching stock and motive power. 157 pages with index.
