Remembering Steam Fifty years ago, main line steam in Britain ceased to exist, the last official date being 11 August 1968.

We now know that this was not quite the case, and that steam locomotives would eventually return to the main lines on highly popular ‘specials’.With over 200 never-before-seen photographs, paired with fond and often amusing captions, this evocative book takes a look back at those days and years that led up to the end of steam on Britain’s railways.
