Paperback. Going Off the Rails: Disaster Postcards from the Trackside by John Hannavay is a compelling exploration of early railway disasters, Victorian and Edwardian transport history and the rise of visual news culture through postcards and ephemera. This unique railway history book examines how rail accidents and incidents were documented, circulated, and often sensationalised through photographic postcards in the early 20th century.Focusing on Britains railway system during the Edwardian era, the book highlights a period when rail travel was both a symbol of modern progress and a source of public concern. Historical records, including a 1908 Board of Trade report noting over 1,000 railway deaths and nearly 8,000 injuries, underscore the dangers of early rail transport and the scale of railway safety challenges at the time.Through a rich collection of contemporary disaster postcards, Going Off the Rails reveals how images of train crashes, derailments, and trackside accidents were rapidly shared across Britain and beyond. Long before modern news media, these postcards served as powerful tools of mass communication, shaping public understanding of railway risk, technology, and industrial life.Combining social history, transport heritage, and visual culture, this book offers fascinating insight into how railway disasters were remembered and represented. Ideal for readers interested in railway history, industrial archaeology, Victorian and Edwardian Britain and historical photography. A fascinating guide to early train disasters, illustrated through contemporary postcards and explained expertly by John Hannavy.
