Book Description
Only two lines now remain in Co. 'Derry, an area which once boasted an extensive railway network. The county town itself once featured a number of important stations and nearly twenty photographs of these form the centrepiece of this volume. As always some lines had their own eccentricities such as the Lough Swilly line. Containing fifty-one pictures in total and accompanied by a detailed text by Stephen Johnson - this is the last word in Northern Irish railway history.

Book Description
Now available in paperback, this is the first academic book to study railway enthusiasts in Britain. Far from a trivial topic, the post-war train spotting craze swept most boys and some girls into a passion for railways, and for many, ignited a lifetime’s interest. British railway enthusiasm traces this post-war cohort, and those which followed, as they invigorated different sectors in the world of railway enthusiasm – train spotting, railway modelling, collecting railway relics – and then, in response to the demise of main line steam traction, Britain’s now-huge preserved railway industry. Today this industry finds itself riven by tensions between preserving a loved past which ever fewer people can remember and earning money from tourist visitors. The widespread and enduring significance of railway enthusiasm will ensure that this groundbreaking text remains a key work in transport studies, and will appeal to enthusiasts as much as to students and scholars of transport and cultural history.

Book Description
Dublin was an early target for railway development; in fact it boasted the world's second passenger railway (and the first to serve a capital city) which opened in 1834 between Dublin and Kingstown. This was swiftly followed by railway expansion throughout Ireland. In the south east it was the Dublin & South Eastern and the Great Southern & Western Railways that dominated. By 1925 they had amalgamated to become Great Southern Railways, but soon after there followed a period of fluctuating fortunes due to war and fuel shortages. In the 1950s competition from road transport led to drastic cost-cutting measures. Unlike the railways in Britain however, the region has enjoyed a revival since the 1980s with line electrifications and development of a modern tramway within the capital; as at date of publication there is now even an underground system being considered for the city. The whole history of the region's railways is told here in detail accompanied by a collection of 52 photographs. Locations featured include stations at Dun Laoghaire, Rosslare, Shankhill, Templeogue, the Guinness Brewery, Broadstone, Dublin Harcourt Street, Terenure, Embankment, Blessington, Poulaphouca, Sutton, Hill of Howth, Liffey Junction, Carbury, Edenderry, Tullow, Abbeyleix, Kilkenny, Mountmellick, Woodenbridge Junction, Shillelagh, Goresbridge, Borris, Ballywilliam, Palace East, Macmine Junction, Rathgarogue, Glenmore, Kilmeadan, Durrow, Dungarvan, Ballyduff, Waterford Manor, Waterford, Tramore, and Avoca.
