Rail Cameramen

This exhibition offered a glimpse of the railways through the eyes of the photographers who captured spectacular images over the decades.

The Rail Camera Club has been a familiar figure at the lineside for many years. Celebrating the 100th RCC folio, which began circulating in December 2017, this exhibition featured images from 36 RCC photographers, including past members such as WJV ‘Bill’ Anderson and Eric Treacy.

Visitors could see original Eric Treacy prints as well as his cameras, and some very early images from the Science Museum Group archive and the Paul Getty Collection.
