A close-up look at Cumbria's working railways

The drama of the Cumbrian countryside combined with some of the most powerful diesel and electric locomotives to be found anywhere in Britain. Gordon Edgar's photographs cover every aspect of diesel and electric traction in Cumbria, hauling both passenger and goods trains. The types, classes of locomotive and the operating companies represented are as varied as the landscape which ranges from the drama of the Fells to the windswept coastline and the industrial railway yards. Locations include the Carlisle to Maryport line, Workington, Mossband, the River Esk, Cummersdale, and the west coast line to Sellafield. Stunning photography and an extraordinarily varied landscape combined and captured in superb detail

Gordon Edgar has been photographing railways since 1968 and has specialised in the end of main line and industrial steam in the UK. Having served for two decades in the Army Intelligence Corps, since retirement he has devoted his time to his archive of railway photographs. Gordon has contributed to two books on steam railways in China and his photographs have also appeared in several periodicals. An accomplished photographer, Gordon Edgar has written several railway books for Amberley Publishing.
