Railways of the South East: Kent

The second of two volumes covering the railways of the South East, this book focuses on Kent. It details a wide range of different trains including heavy aggregate, inter-regional passenger, test trains, the Orient Express, newspaper and mail trains, railtour excursions, engineers’ trains, weed killers, and intermodal, steel, coal and nuclear flask traffic. An extensive range of locomotive classes in different liveries, many now consigned to history, are shown at work in the ‘Garden of England’. Over 180 colour photographs, the majority of which have never been published before, illustrate the surprising variety found in this beautiful corner of the country.
