Primarily utilising previously unpublished photographs, Gordon Edgar explores the industrial and minor railways of North East England.

Arguably one of the most dramatic railway lines in northern England, the Settle - Carlisle runs through remote, scenic regions of the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines. Starting from the town of Settle, it crosses the Ribblehead viaduct on its way to the Scottish border. Threatened with closure in the 1970s, it was saved by campaigners and is now an important diversionary route from the West Coast Main Line, popular with tourists and locals alike.

The drama of the Cumbrian countryside combined with some of the most magnificent steam locomotives to be found anywhere in Britain. This follow-up to Gordon Edgar's Cumbrian Traction is a collection of the author's own work and that of other eminent railway photographers. The types, classes of locomotive and the operating companies represented are as varied as the landscape, which ranges from the drama of the fells to the windswept coastline, covering the lines radiating through the former counties of Cumberland and Westmorland. Locations include the West Coast Main Line over Shap summit, the Settle-Carlisle, and Maryport and Carlisle lines. The Border City of Carlisle is also covered in detail, with both historic and contemporary scenes at the station, in and around the city and at the latter-day steam motive power depots. Stunning photography and extraordinarily varied landscapes are combined and captured in superb detail in this look at steam in Cumbria.

The drama of the Cumbrian countryside combined with some of the most powerful diesel and electric locomotives to be found anywhere in Britain. Gordon Edgar's photographs cover every aspect of diesel and electric traction in Cumbria, hauling both passenger and goods trains. The types, classes of locomotive and the operating companies represented are as varied as the landscape which ranges from the drama of the Fells to the windswept coastline and the industrial railway yards. Locations include the Carlisle to Maryport line, Workington, Mossband, the River Esk, Cummersdale, and the west coast line to Sellafield.
