Description: The book is really for the knowledgeable steam railway fan. It is about the trials and tribulations of the railway system in South West Scotland in the period from the railway grouping of 1923, until nationalisation at the end of 1947. Mainly about the trains and the characters involved in running them. The author has great insight to the local railways, and this comes across. What also comes across is the sheer hard work and dedication of those involved in keeping the trains running, and also how run down the railways had become post WW2. The distant policy making as regards this area is also highlighted, in, for instance the allocation of a vacuum braked loco to a depot that used air braked engines, and not allocating the best loco's to the depots most needing them.
