John Dedman has been photographing trains around Hampshire from the late
1970s until today, focusing on the freight workings that are showcased
here.Locations from all over the county are featured, with plenty of
coverage for the Eastleigh and Southampton areas that have always been
busy with freight traffic. Other areas covered include Portsmouth and
the New Forest in the south and Basingstoke and routes towards Salisbury
in the north. Over the years the county has seen many different types of
freight, including coal, cement, petroleum, Speedlink, nuclear flasks
and steel. Other traffic covered includes Freightliner, automotive,
aggregates, and departmental workings. Locomotive liveries included are
from the BR Blue era, Railfreight sectorisation and today's privatised
freight companies. The book also includes some images from other
Hampshire photographers.
