It was formed from the nationalization of the "Big Four" British railway companies following the end of World War II and lasted until the gradual privatazation of BR in stages between 1994 and 1997. The period of nationalisation saw sweeping changes in the national railway network. A process of diselization and electricifcation took place, and in 1968 steam locomotion had been entirely replaced by diesel and electric power, except for one narrow-gauge tourist line. Passengers replaced freight as the main source of business, and one third of the network was closed. The Southern Region was one of six regions formed within British Railways. It covered south London, southern England and the south coast, including the busy commuter belts of Kent, Sussex and Surrey. It consisted primarily of the lines of the former Southern Railway.  For auction is a very rare item from British Rail's Southern Division, a kerosene hand lantern. It is circa 1950s.
