Synopsis

Brings together papers by contributors from a wide range of disciplines to examine and critically evaluate the significance of railways. Each brings a different perspective to bear on railway history and preservation. The papers by Simmons, White, Latschar and others will have a real impact on the development of railway studies as an academic discipline. Other papers review curatorial practice in the railway field. Both historians and curators represented here are acutely aware of the social and economical contexts in which the railways developed in Britain and branched out elsewhere.
