My trip (pun intended) didn't seem a lot different.
Liked the Cuneo picture which I have not seen before; he did some railway posters and quite a bit of military stuff. The horses being transported looks similar to an image in British Railways in wartime. The Frank Brangwyn poster is extra to the print edition. I presume hump marshalling yards are just history now.
Something for the bicentenary,

Not Simon Bradley's first book - see http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=29020.msg185463#msg185463 too.
Many of us here have had a lifetime's interest in and involvement with rail / public transport and to some extent "like a drug" I would agree. And, yes, I have a flavour of that drug and - if you like - addiction. That is something I prefer to be addicted to than ... alcohol, smoking, gambling ... and perhaps is parallel to golfing, painting, knitting, fishing, reading as addictive (?) hobbies. ... https://www.magazine.co.uk/the-hub/the-uks-most-popular-hobbies
