Summary: "Fifty Years of Railway Life in England, Scotland and Ireland" by Joseph Tatlow is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's extensive career in the railway industry, covering both his personal experiences and the wider developments within railway services across England, Scotland, and Ireland. The narrative promises insights into the evolution of rail travel and the significant figures involved, as well as the challenges faced during transformative years in the industry. The opening of the memoir introduces us to the author reflecting on his life in the railway service during a serene evening in Donegal, Ireland. He recounts a conversation with a young railway colleague, who encourages him to document his reminiscences, leading to the author’s decision to pen his experiences. Tatlow shares initial thoughts about the difficulty of recalling past events due to the lack of diary entries and his tendency to dispose of old correspondence.
