Ayrshire's Last Days of Colliery Steam

As late as the 1970s steam locomotives were still in use in Ayrshire collieries ad pits such as Killoch, Barony, Mauchline and Dunaskin prior to deep mining's complete collapse in the country by 1990. With over fifty evocative photographs and detailed and informative captions this book is both an in-depth look at these industrial locos and a more general nostalgic insight of a once great Ayrshire industry.
