The data contained in these pages was transcribed by a team of Midland Railway Society members coordinated by the late Ashley Sanders


KWIC Index

Search by clicking the initial letter or number of the term you are interested in...

The results are presented in a format called “KWIC” which stands for “KeyWord In Context”. It might appear a little strange at first but the index term is the emboldened word(s) in a column down the middle of the page. You will probably need to scroll down find the term you want. Use the blue ⬆️ on the left to return to the top of the list.


The Register

Alternatively, if you know the DY Reference of the image you are interested in, these links allow you to access that part of the Register directly...

Obtaining prints

Black and white prints for private study or research can be obtained from the National Railway Museum. Please bear in mind that the list presented on these pages is not complete. A full list of negatives in the Derby collection can be viewed in the “Search Engine” search facility at the NRM. Before placing an order, you are advised to check with the NRM that the negative you are interested in has not been lost, damaged or is otherwise unavailable. The descriptions in the Registers are occasionally incorrect, so always inform the NRM of what you think the negative is a picture of.
