Early-Mid 20th Century Locomotives, Trains | Decades of Steam 1950's

During the 1950's - which is the decade covered by this, the fourth in a series of five 100% archive film programs - the steam locomotive was seen as an anachronism which had to be replaced by "modern" power.

However, British Railways had over 20,000 steam engines at the beginning of the decade, to which it added a further 999 examples - the well known Standard types. This program traces the last full decade of steam locomotive development by examining each of the regions of British Railways, and setting the scene for steam's final years.

Much of the archive material in this program has not been previously released on video.

100% archive film, black and white with some colour.
