Abstract
The main works are not always associated with their war-time record, yet their collective achievements had no equal in non-governmental establishments throughout the two world wars. The works provided the railways with the means to transport troops, evacuees and war materials under difficult and often — in the second world war — dangerous conditions. They also manufactured huge quantities of war products of all kinds, which greatly furthered the war effort of the country. The challenge of those international crises demonstrates the adaptability and skills of Britain’s railway engineers.
