SF Edition, The Railway Man
Growing up in Edinburgh during the 1920s, Eric Lomax became obsessed by the great steam engines he saw shunting wagons in the city’s Portobello Goods Yard. As a lonely teenager working as a Post Office sorting clerk, he would cycle miles to remote branch lines for the satisfaction of spotting some obscure engine parked in the sidings. Little did he know then that the building of a railway would bring him near death and lead to one of the most important decisions of his life.
