Both John Whitehouse and Geoff Dowling were born and bred in the area covered by this book and its 'next-door' volume, No 61 Birmingham. Both were trainspotters in their younger years, and both have been observing and recording the local railway scene since the early 1970s. Geoff is a retired professional photographer formerly working within the University of Birmingham, while John, who worked in a Birmingham bank for many years, is now well-known as a railway photographer and journalist.
