Good decription of the railway lines between Workington and Penrith, via Keswick and Cockermouth.
After setting the scene, in terms of the beginnings of the railways and how they were built, the book then describes each section of the line. Separate chapters decribe Workington to Brigham, Cockermouth, Embleton to Braithwaite, Keswick, East of Keswick, and Redhills Junction to Penrith.
There are about 128 pages, which include photographs on most pages, with well thought out text. The photos range from 19th century to the late 20th century, with mostly steam engines portrayed. Track layouts at most of the stations are illustrated, and there are several building drawings.
Volume 2, by the same author, describes Traffic and Operation.
Overall a good value paperback book.
