Of top-link locomotives and the runs they make, and of the men who drive them.
The author, himself a top-link driver takes us up on to the footplates, tells us what has to be done, and why, describes in detail the route we are covering, even sometimes, letting us drive the train ourselves, and as well as taking a look back from time to time, into the past, also takes a very far seeing look forward into the future.
The main subjects are the Queen of Scots, steam, the Newhaven Boat Train, third rail electric, the Manchester Sheffield, overall electric, the Manchester Shetland, overhead electric, and the Midland Region’s diesel electric, and there is a chapter on the Brown-Boveri gas turbine
