I Will Meet You at the Station by John Birkinshaw, signed by the author. In many countries it is unlikely that there will ever be a heritage railway as we know it. Once steam has gone, it is gone forever. The author managed to photograph and record the final acts of steam across the world, as illustrated in this book.

As John Birkinshaw wrote “a considerable part of the charm of the whole experience was that the passage of a steam train was not an event which drew a crowd, people just got on with their daily lives. I decided that this aspect of railway life was worth recording and putting into print, hence this book”.

The book features more than 200 images, not just about the drama attached to the steam locomotive, but about life around an amazing piece of our history.
