Overview
Relive the golden age of steam on Britain's Southern Region
For railway enthusiasts in 1960s London, the sight of steam trains was becoming increasingly rare. By 1966, only the south-western lines from Waterloo offered a significant amount of main-line steam action. Against all odds, steam survived until July 1967, outlasting all but the north-west of England.
George Woods captures the highs and lows of this era through stunning color photography taken at iconic locations like Waterloo, Weymouth, and the Isle of Wight. Explore enthusiast specials and the Army locos of the Longmoor Military Railway in this nostalgic look back at the final years of steam in the Southern Region. Perfect for railway enthusiasts and British history buffs
