Past And Present

Dorset A Second Selection
Past And Present No.44 - 2004 Edition
by Terry Gough & David Mitchell
British Railways Past and Present is a nationwide series of books featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades ago and comparing them with the same scene today. Such is the current pace of change on our railway system that even a few years can reduce a busy and vibrant railway scene to a wasteland or housing estate - or conversley can bring electrification and up to the minute technology to an outdated, run down route.
The contrasts are often dramatic, while sometimes hardly anything has altered in 30 or 40 years. Whatever the change, the comparision of past and present will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast and historian, but also anyone interested in our recent history.
In this second volume covering Dorset are over 230 photographs featuring: Weymouth to Yeovil, Upwey to Abbotsbury, Maiden Newton to Bridport and West Bay, Weymouth Tramway, Weymouth to Christchurch, Yeovil Junction to Gillingham, the Swanage Line and lines from Broadstone Junction
