Set against the contrasting rural and industrial scenery of northern Lincolnshire, this book illustrates the area's fascinating passenger and freight trains, railway infrastructure, stations and signalling over a 40-year period. Taking the reader on a journey from west to east through the area, it shows many of the locations on the railway and the variety of locomotives and multiple units that have appeared in the area from 1979 to the present day. This book contains over 180 historic photographs, the majority of which have never been published before, each accompanied by an extensive caption. Together they form a comprehensive historic record of the trains in northern Lincolnshire, including many of the changes that have taken place in the railways of the area. They illustrate how passenger and freight services have grown or declined and how the infrastructure of the railways has evolved through a period of 40 years to meet the needs of the modern railway era.
