Colin Magg’s West of England

Here are locomotives in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and south-west idyllic branch lines twisting along the floor of a lush green valley; a holiday express pounding swiftly along a main line; a dark green engine hauling tea and cream-colored coaches; or freight trains carrying clay, strawberries, early vegetables, petrol, coal, milk or cattle. From locomotives on shed to pictures of stations; from tunnels to railway docks; and from pictures of the last Up broad gauge train at Truro in 1892 to a 1988 shot of an electric train at Weymouth, here is all the variety that the railways of England can offer.
