  Showing the history of the railways in the West of England from their beginnings to the present day, Colin Maggs uses a collection of black and white photographs accompanied by detailed captions, and a lengthy introduction. There are locomotives in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and south-west Wiltshire. From locomotives on shed to pictures of stations; from tunnels to railway docks; and from pictures of the last up broad gauge train at Truro in 1892 to a 1988 shot of an electric train at Weymouth, here is all the variety that the railways of the West of England can offer.
