The 1960s saw the final hurrah of steam on the railways - the final
period of steam-powered locomotives dominating the main line. This meant
that a colourful array of traffic could be found across the length and
breadth of Great Britain, and an army of enthusiasts both young and old
dutifully recorded the nation's rail scene. Here, in the first of a new
series of book celebrating the steam of 1960s Britain, Keith W. Platt
looks back at the variety that could be found on the railways around
Leeds. Packed with previously unpublished images, this is a book that
will delight anybody with memories of steam around Leeds or an
enthusiasm for the area's railways or history.
