A thin pair of steel ribbons across town and countryside, along sea walls, over remote and lonely Highland moors, through tunnels, and carried on magnificent viaducts - the special association between railway and landscape is explored in this photo essay by two of the UK's best-known railway photographers, one of whom was named the Sunday Times 'Take A View' Young Landscape Photographer of the Year. Through a breath-taking selection of photographs, this is a book of stunning views, capturing the romance, nostalgia, drama and excitement of past railway journeys, while celebrating the ordinary and everyday scenes of the modern railway and showcasing railway journeys as an intrinsic part of the British landscape.
