This volume takes a pictorial look at various aspects of Manchester's railways over the last century. Taking a tour of engines dating from the early 20th century to the present day, the book also looks at the railway stations of both central and suburban Manchester. It includes famous collisions of the area, such as the crash at Chapel-en-le-Frith in 1957 and incidents at Cheadle Hulme and Weaste. The volume also provides a view into the former British Railways' workshops at Horwich and Gorton, along with Manchester's commercial locomotive-building history. With images taken from the "Manchester Evening News" archive, this album is a fond look at how the railways used to be.
