This publication forms part of the 'Railway Cultures' project, a collaboration between the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Sheffield and the National Railway Museum York
"The railways have always been more than just feats of engineering and catalysts of economic and social change. Throughout their two-hundred-year history, they have shaped our daily lives and human interactions, changed the way that we think about ourselves and the world around us, and given rise to a cultural abundance, from novels and films, to music and artwork. Drawing on expertise from the University of Sheffield and the National Railway Museum, this collections has brought together researchers, artists and creative writers to explore the cultures of the railways, and to ask what more they have to tell us"--Back cover
