Railway History Home Page

Railways as they were in the years until 1935

Welcome to a bygone age..........

This site will take you back in time, to an age where only the rich could own a car or fly. The train was the only way many people could travel. So let me take you back in time to the mid 1930's, a time long ago where trains and steam power were still king .....

Here you will find facts and stories about railways, trains, locomotives and the railway engineers, who built and ran them. All of the items on these pages date from 1935/6, or before, so please note that over the years since then the names of certain countries, towns and cities may have changed. All place names on this site are as they were in 1935 and all pages are set in that year and should be viewed in that context.

Some pages on this site are very large, up to 60k text, and graphics up to 400k. Please bear this in mind as pages are downloading - they really are worth waiting for.

New pages will be added as and when time permits me to transfer them on to this site, so if you are interested come back every couple of weeks or so to see what has been added.
