Track & Overhead Line Book Recommendations

[chipbury]

Good Morning,

I'm interested in obtaining books on track & overhead line installations. I'm not in the industry, but an enthusiast with a technical background.
I'd like to see plenty technical information, diagrams, colour photo's and be as up to date as possible (the history of the evolution of the infrastructure would also be interesting).
I've seen the Permanent Way Institute have some books but I believe they are quite 'wordy' (and quite expensive!).

Any recommendations gratefully received (new or second hand),

Cheers,

C
