Rail
Imagine
the scene, a Colonel Stephens style of railway which never came under
the Beeching axe, which has by some quirk of fate survived to today
almost untouched. In these modern times of privatised railways, this
line now operates totally independently. Some of the old locomotives and
rolling stock which has miraculously survived is being put back into
service (as time allows), but this can frequently be seen alongside some
of the more modern loco’s and wagons of
Britain's railways- they have been granted running powers on the
line to fulfill various contracts.
It
is a cold day today and a sprinkling of light snow overnight has done
little to encourage the people of Snow Hill (aptly named one might
think!) to use the train today, so not many people have ventured out
this morning, with the exception of a hardy few. One of whom is keen to
capture the days events on video. Like much of Britain today, the trains
may be subject to delay and cancellation (the wrong type of snow,
possibly ?), but this is often the time to catch a glimpse of the more
reliable steam loco's . . . .
