Southern Railway's Spencer Shops

Productinformatie

This superb history takes a look back at the Southern Railway's major repair shops, and how the lives of those who worked there became interwoven with the machines they built and repaired. Chapters detail the construction of the shops and the towns that often sprouted around them, the shops' growth and expansion, and profiles of workers, unions, strikes, and the transition from steam to diesel. Generously illustrated throughout.
