摘要

This is one of thernTwentieth CenturyrnIn Pictures' seriesrnof books featuringrnphotographs fromrnthe Press Associationrnarchives. There arernnearly 300 pictures,rnexamples of the sortrnof thing the PA issuedrnto newspapers and periodicals with captionrndetails of contemporary happenings, which therncompany hoped the publishers would purchasernfor inclusion in their titles.rnAs such this book represents railways in the broadest sense as many of the items reflect social history connected with trains and the industry as much as the locos themselves. That is not to say, however, that they have not come up with some cracking images featuring motive power of all types on occasions. They do not always get the details right though.
