A Corris Celebration

Details: Those who witnessed the closure of the Corris Railway in 1948 may well have been disappointed but were hardly surprised at that event. Sixty years later, however, any survivors of that era must be astounded by the regeneration of the old railway. The restoration process, started gradually during the late 1960s, has gained increasing momentum, particularly in recent years. A Corris Celebration is a picture album which records some of the highlights of this remarkable transformation. The old Corris has exercised a peculiar charm down the years

- from the halcyon days of manager J.R. Dix to the years of deteriation under the control of the Great Western. The little trains wove a magic in the past which was out of all proportion to the scale of the railway & there are healthy indications that the 'new' Corris demonstrates the same kind of enchantment as the old line. The coming years beckon optimistically; they undoubtedly herald exciting times ahead. Ideal for: A fantastic book for rail enthusiasts. This paperback book has 84 pages & measures: 22 x 18 x 0.7cm.
