Early Trains – Bryan Morgan

Description

Early Trains by Bryan Morgan is a fascinating visual and historical exploration of the earliest days of railway travel in both the United States and Britain. Through a rich collection of photographs, drawings, and illustrations, this book documents the locomotives, tunnels, bridges, and bustling stations that marked the dawn of the railway age. It offers a glimpse into a transformative period when steam engines revolutionised transport, trade, and daily life.

Bryan Morgan’s work captures not just the machines, but also the human stories — the travellers, railway workers, and pioneering engineers who brought this new mode of transport to life. From grand terminals and modest rural stations to the impressive roundhouses and workshops where locomotives were maintained, Early Trains presents a comprehensive portrait of rail travel’s early years.

Ideal for railway enthusiasts, transport historians, and collectors of vintage transport books, Early Trains is a nostalgic and informative tribute to one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century.
