Isle of Wight Railways

It is 25 years since the last BR steam-hauled train ran on the Isle of Wight. In this nostalgic 'then and now' survey, Colin Pomeroy visits every station on the island, closed or still in use, and starting with a quite superb collection of archive photographs, most never before published, records the present-day scene from the same viewpoint. Supported by maps and selected 'then and now' track plans, a chronology of openings and closures, a complete list of named engines, trackbed footpath routes and much more, this book provides a unique and evocative history of the railways of the 'Garden Island'.
