It may not be widely known that the London & North Eastern Railway derived almost two-thirds of its total income from the conveyance of mundane goods traffic, compared with only one third from the more glamorous carrying of passengers and their luggage. In The L&NER Delivers the Goods Volume 2: Scottish & North Eastern Areas, the second of three volumes by well-known railway author Peter Tatlow, he describes how the L&NER served the nation by delivering the goods and minerals entrusted to it. This is the second of three volumes and in this volume attention is given to describing its goods traffic work in the Scottish and North Eastern areas during its years of existence.

This was an era before motorways, HGVs loaded with ISO containers and centrally generated electricity, caused the once numerous steam-hauled goods trains to be swept away. Illustrated throughout with archive black & white photographs.

Hardback. 184 pages.
