{"product_id":"9781781550571","title":"Working and Preserved Industrial Locomotives","description":"Ex-railwayman Bill Reed, now 78, has spent most of his life firing, driving, photographing or observing locomotives in the UK and abroad - even at times behind the former 'Iron Curtain'. In this book we see his pictures of industrial locomotives - taken throughout Britain - at work in various locations including collieries, breweries and quarries. They are also depicted waiting to be scrapped and in their new life on preserved railway lines. Bill has a great enthusiasm for photography, and this book features some of his best color and black and white pictures, scanned at high resolution and in some cases digitally enhanced to maximize their appearance. Bill has also gone out of his way to capture even the quirkiest of locomotives. Examples of these may be seen at Whipsnade, Bedfordshire, and Sittingbourne, Kent. Working and Preserved Industrial Locomotives will be of great interest to enthusiasts who want to recall the important role played by these locomotives across the railway network. Readers will also be happy to see that a number are still in operation and this book may encourage them to see these locomotives once again.","brand":"Fonthill Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50096716513520,"sku":"9781781550571","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781781550571","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
