Download or read book Images of Cumbrian Railways written by John Marsh and published by Sutton Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work displays a large number of previously unseen railway photographs from the remote county of Cumbria that show life on lines that are still in use and later what has now disappeared from the railway scene. This volume contains an opportunity to see a new collection of pictures of these lost railway lines in action with many nostalgic views of railways destroyed by shortsighted planning. That many of these lost lines are now being restored surely says much about their closure. The plans for restoration now include the Waverley line, the Appleby to Kirkby Stephen 'North Eastern' line and the Penrith to Keswick line.
