Some railway employees were seamen. Others were horsemen, for railway companies operated some of the largest fleets of horse-drawn vehicles in the land. There were also many women workers, mainly behind the scenes, and these included telegraphists and clerks as well as those who worked in railway laundry and catering services. This book looks at those who ran the railways - as well as those who built them. \u003cbr\u003eAbout the author\u003cbr\u003eTrevor May is a professional historian and former teacher-trainer. \u003cbr\u003eOther titles for Shire by this author are: \u003cbr\u003eMilitary Barracks\u003cbr\u003eThe Victorian Domestic Servant, \u003cbr\u003eThe Victorian Schoolroom\u003cbr\u003eThe Victorian Undertaker\u003cbr\u003eVictorian and Edwardian Horse Cabs\u003cbr\u003eThe Victorian Workhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087852462231,"sku":"9780747804512","price":263.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780747804512.webp?v=1767640989","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-victorian-railway-worker-9780747804512","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
