Railways and train spotters Jim, but not as we know them. An antidote to bucolic railway rambles, sacred cows served up as mince 'n' tatties. From the railway sublime to the railway as a whole sewer full of snouts - Gricing is not a rose tinted tale written by an old engineman.Poets, vicars, villains, folk songs about runaway trains and railway heroes, the 6.05 special, railway children, smoke at 1000 a puff, the Maginot line, and Chattanooga Choo-choo, room for them all, and more, in this personal view of the railway and its influence on, culture, language, and modern life.Connections, which ones we make and the ones we don't, trains of thought trundling across the last 200 years of railway landscape, culture, and society - and over 100 lovely photos of engines great and small on the main lines and branch lines of our railway network and heritage railways.
