NEW APRIL 2020.  These scans are of a hard-cover pocket book for issue to railway workers on the newly electrified lines from Colchester North to St Botolphs, Clacton and Walton-on-the-Naze. The book is dated 1958, and the wires were due to go live in January 1959.

Topics covered include definitions of the terms; a description of the system; general instructions; the isolation of overhead line equipment; the operation of multiple unit trains; and safety rules for the protection of staff and other people. In the back is a diagrammatic map of the complete route, with non-electrified sidings distinguished.

The book consists of 112 pages, displayed in this file mostly as two-page spreads.

The file is word-searchable and has bookmarks to the main parts. It will be available to download as soon as payment has been made. You go to your account and click on ‘Downloads’. New customers create an account as they place their order.
