The Atmospheric Southern- The Classic Southern Region Collection

This book will take you on a journey around the Southern, viewed through the cameras of a dozen or more eminent photographers. Starting at Victoria, we will go clockwise around Kent, Surrey and Sussex, before moving westwards to Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, the West of England and then back up the South Western main line to Waterloo, finally ending at Nine Elms shed just before the demise of steam in July 1967. There is also an extended feature on the railways around Redhill, a strategically important railway crossroads. Mostly steam, the subject matter includes a few diesels and electrics, while the extended captions give details of so much more visible in the pictures. All the images come from the Transport Treasury collections and many more are available direct from them.
