Industrial Locomotives of the Lothians

Industrial locomotives are still in use in the Lothians today at the giant cement factory south of Dunbar but this is the exception. These workhorses of the industrial age are now more likely to be found on preserved lines or displayed in public parks. This history recalls this essential aspect of the regions gritty past and features over fifty photographs from the 1950s with locations which include many well remembered pits, factories and works.
