Lancashire Traction

The drama of the Lancashire countryside combined with some of the most powerful diesel and electric locomotives to be found anywhere in Britain. Ross Taylor's photographs cover every aspect of diesel and electric traction in Lancashire, hauling both passenger and goods trains. The types, classes of locomotives and the operating companies represented are as varied as the landscape which ranges from the drama of the Pennines to the windswept coastline of Morecambe Bay and the commuter belt of Manchester and Liverpool. Locations include the West Coast Main Line and along the coast, from Southport to Lancaster. Stunning photography and an extraordinarily varied landscape are combined and captured in superb detail.
