Here the author showcases many previously unpublished photographs of freight trains on Hampshire's railways.

John Dedman and Pete Nurse have been photographing trains around Hampshire since the late 1970s, focusing on the freight workings that are showcased here. Locations from all over the county are featured, with plenty of coverage for the Eastleigh and Southampton areas that have always been busy with freight traffic. Other areas covered include Portsmouth and the New Forest in the south and Basingstoke and routes towards Salisbury in the north. Over the years the county has seen many different types of freight, including coal, cement, petroleum, Speedlink, nuclear flasks and steel. Other traffic covered includes Freightliner, automotive, aggregates and departmental workings. Locomotive liveries included are from the BR Blue era, Railfreight sectorisation and today’s privatised freight companies. The book also includes some images from other Hampshire photographers.

John Dedman was born in Lymington, Hampshire, and both his father and his grandfather worked for British Railways on the Lymington branch, at the Pier station and on the Isle of Wight Ferry. He went to school at Brockenhurst which was next to the railway by the station where all spare time was spent watching the trains. Once he got access to a camera trains became a natural subject and he has been photographing railways in most parts of the British Isles since the mid 1970s. Pete Nurse is a transport and modelling enthusiast based in south-east England.
