The GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY: An Irish Railway Pictorial

The latest addition to Midland’s popular ‘Irish Railway Pictorial’ series is a joyful photographic celebration of one of Ireland’s best loved and most respected railways, the Great Northern. The book focuses on the years from 1945 until the end of regular steam workings on former GNR lines in 1965. For those who knew and used the GNR this book will bring back many nostalgic memories of a large and efficient railway network now mostly closed and discarded. Those not fortunate enough to have known the railway in its heyday will be able to see from the pages of the book how much of value was lost with the closure of so much of the GNR system.

Tom Ferris is the author of Irish Railways in Colour: From Steam to Diesel 1955-1967, first published to huge critical acclaim in 1992.
