The majestic architecture of early railway buildings reflected the pride of the railway companies who commissioned them. These awe-inspiring structures ranged from classically-designed stations; waiting rooms and booking halls to mighty viaducts; tunnels and bridges.In this highly-illustrated book; filled with colour photographs and detailed drawings; Trevor Yorke describes the range of buildings associated with the golden age of steam. He explains the dynamics of their construction; the materials used and the myriad of styles employed by leading architects and engineers of the day.For everyone interested in the world of steam railways; this is an invaluable guide to the architectural legacy it left behind and the role the railways played in our social and industrial past.
