Fascinating and beautifully researched history of the London & North Western Railway, the premier British line before the Grouping. The LNWR had the biggest fleet of locomotives, the largest staff, the most beautifully turned-out trains, and the best finances of any railway in Britain. The author has filled a major gap in British railway history by producing the first modern history of the line. Illustrated with black and white photos and maps. With many statistical data charts on finances, mileage, etc. as well as an extensive bibliography. 248 pages with index.
