Synopsis
This book combines two titles together:
A History of the Chatterley Whitfield Railway by William Jack.
Purely industrial lines are those most likely to fail to survive. Many have closed unnoticed. Nevertheless, the private industrial lines have their own devotees, and of course they have their own peculiar little ways. This book serves as a tribute to those who worked on the Chatterley Whitfield Railway during its years of service to both colliery and country.

History
The Workings of the Locomotives and Trains of Private Firms over the North Staffordshire Railway by Dr. J. Hollick.
There are many instances where the trains of industrial firms have worked over the lines of a railway company. The workings of such trains over the NSR were relatively many for so small a line, and this book is an attempt to describe and record them.
