WESTERN STEAM FAREWELL

An all-colour portfolio of the author's photographs recording ex-Great Western steam locomotives at work and at rest. The period covered is from 1961 to 1964 when steam traction was rapidly disappearing and the Western Region turning over to diesel traction. The part of the region around the West Midlands became LMR property and it was here that many of the GWR engines lingered on, with many of the images recorded in the area and further afield. With detailed captions, this is an evocative look at the last years of GWR steam. 80 colour photos.
