With a foreword by radio and television presenter Clive Robertson, the authors have captured the life and the passion that surrounds the steam locomotive in Australia. Railway Portraits was first published in 2006 by local Wentworth Falls writer and photographer, Robert Wheatley and his brother Bruce. It has been a huge success and has reprinted three times.

This book captures the steam locomotive era of the 60s and 70s with evocative black and white photographs - all taken when the brothers were in their teenage years. What makes these books different from other railway books are the depictions of the people that worked on the railways. These books record the final days of the steam era and a way of life that is now part of our transport history.
