Rail Freight in Hampshire

John Dedman and Pete Nurse have been photographing trains around Hampshire since the late 1970s, focusing on the freight workings that are showcased here. Locations from all over the county are featured, with plenty of coverage for the Eastleigh and Southampton areas that have always been busy with freight traffic. Other areas covered include Portsmouth and the New Forest in the south and Basingstoke and routes towards Salisbury in the north. Over the years the county has seen many different types of freight, including coal, cement, petroleum, Speedlink, nuclear flasks and steel. Other traffic covered includes Freightliner, automotive, aggregates and departmental workings. Locomotive liveries included are from the BR Blue era, Railfreight sectorisation and today''s privatised freight companies. The book also includes some images from other Hampshire photographers.
