Title - British Railways Eastern Region (System Map).
Description - A stylised system map of the Eastern Region of British Railways in 1963, just before the drastic Beeching closures, but showing the region after it had been gradually closing various lines over the previous decade. From nationalisation in 1948 each region produced their own map on an ad-hoc basis as their networks gradually changed with line closures.
