The railway became a significant employer in Suffolk, providing a wide spectrum of jobs with regular salaries, with the result that many agricultural workers were no longer dependent on harvests and seasonal employment. It had the effect of taking a rural community into the modern age. Suffolk in the Age of Steam offers a feast of nostalgia as it tells the story of Suffolk's railway during their heyday, describing the lines, the people who built them, the trains and the people who travelled on them.
