A detailed history of the line between Arnside on the Furness Railway and Hincaster Junction on the London & North Western Railway. As well as having all the characteristics of a typical rural branch, the line was regularly used as a shortcut for excursion and special passenger trains as well as by coke trains running between the north east and the iron works of the Furness area.
Kendal Tommy: A History of the Arnside–Hincaster Branch describes the origins and history of the line and provides extensive coverage of the services on the line, as well as the stations, sidings and signalling. Additionally, there is a dedicated chapter covering the important quarry and lime works at Sandside.
The detailed text is complemented by archive black & white photographs, several maps, track layout diagrams, scale drawings of buildings and other illustrations. 96 pages.
