The railroad photographer presents original images from the steam era across all the former British Railways regions.
As a young photographer in the 1960s, David Knapman was captivated by the drama and grandeur of steam locomotives. In this beautiful collection from his extensive body of work, he shares a thrilling journey through British Railways many lines.
Originally from the Southern Region, Knapman later lived on the former Great Eastern Railway in Essex. He travelled to London to photograph steam traction at most of the London Terminus stations, as well as other locations in the London and home counties area, before venturing further afield across Britain.

Автор жөнүндө
Aged five, David Knapmans railway interest was triggered at Reigate station by a Wainwright 4.4.0. Reading his fathers pre-war Railway magazines and regularly taking Trains Illustrated fostered a lifelong interest. The Reading Redhill line provided much steam interest and early main line trips included the Bristolian and the Kentish Belle in 1958. Photography started with a Brownie Box camera, which was soon overtaken by a 35mm Agfa Silette. A move to Brentwood and a career as a Chartered Accountant enabled the steam interest to flourish further and main line runs today still enthrall. The author hopes his photographs prove to be of much interest to the reader. Floreat Vapor!
