This long-awaited book describes the carriages owned and operated by the Caledonian Railway from its opening until the 1923 grouping. The topics covered include the CR's reaction to technological developments in railway passenger transport and the increasing attention paid to passenger comfort and convenience. The description of its carriage livery challenges some aspects of 'received wisdom' and deals with furnishing and internal decor. General Service stock is reviewed to the end of McIntosh's tenure in 1914, plus the carriages acquired from the West Coast Joint Stock fleet, the Pullman cars and the final designs in the Pickersgill regime. The CR Ambulance Train and other carriages in war-time service are described along with vehicles which were not part of general service stock. Saloons, Invalid carriages, Post Office vehicles, the Prison Van, Inchture horse bus and the Connel Ferry rail motor are all covered, along with some proposed designs that never saw service.
