About this book
The story
Substantially revised second edition of this fascinating history of the East Midlands Railway. The book captures the character of the railways that once served the counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, linking remote farmlands and growing towns.
Each chapter deals with a specific area and explains why individual lines were built, the engineering challenges encountered, architectural contributions, historical anecdotes, and the forces that led to closure. Comprehensive gazetteer section provides details on the Act of Parliament, ownership, opening and closing dates, structures worth examining and sections worth walking.
Illustrated with black and white photos.
With foldout map in rear pocket.
224 pages with index.
