{"product_id":"9781906419219","title":"The Worcester Patch: And the Last Steam-Age Signalmen","description":"\u003cbr\u003eFor many years, mechanical signaling has been a mystery to all but those intimately involved in the subject. Over the past thirty years, however, a number of excellent books have laid the subject bare, certainly with regard to the aspects of history and basic operation. In this exciting new book, Matthew Morgan, a former Worcester Patch signalman, describes in detail his experiences of the last few years of operations. The lively text is supplemented by a superb collection of unpublished photographs and a variety of signal diagrams. The Great Western, and likewise its successor, the Western Region, may have been defunct for years, but the spirit of the old railway lives on, both in the men and the entertaining anecdotes now recounted. Perfect for readers interested in signaling, the area referred to, or the recent past, this is a volume certain to both delight and entertain.","brand":"Allan, Ian Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039946555632,"sku":"9781906419219","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781906419219_p0.jpg?v=1763616823","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781906419219","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
