From the rear side cover: Southern Rails on the Isle of Wight is an award-winning innovative history of one of the most loved parts of the British Railway system. Over the course of two volumes it traces the story of the railways on the Island from their birth right up until the present day. The volumes are lavishly illustrated with over 240 photographs in each, many in colour. These include numerous historical shots, as well as those which bring the story up to date...
This book (Volume Two) features the Ventnor and Bembridge Lines as well as detailed studies of the locomotives and rolling stock which operated on the Island. There are also sections which reflect the present scene, including the electrification of the Ryde to Shanklin Line and the advent of 'Island Line'. Finally it tells the story of the Isle of Wight Steam Railway and how a group of dedicated enthusiasts brought a former section of the Isle of Wight Central, including original locomotives and rolling stock, back to life.
