RE: An old steam beauty.

in Worldmappin3 years ago

An old steam train went through our station today, but I didn't get a photo, even though I saw it. We get them now and again. People turn out to see them. A lot of kids may never have seen, or smelled, a real steam train. Always fun to see.

!PIZZA

Pity that you didn't get a shot of the train Sir Steve.
Yes they are real crowd gatherers and the children over here also get very excited when they see it coming.
The train ran a double shift this weekend. Saturday (this post) and Sunday (my post today).
Sadly today the train had an accident today.

Here's a shot that I took today.

The Flying Scotsman passes here sometimes and that really gets the crowds out.

Shame about that accident.

Ah yes, I saw photos of the Flying Scotsman and it is a beautiful train.

Accidents happen and we were just glad that nobody got hurt.

We can get the train to York from here where there's an amazing railway museum with lots of great old engines. There are various old lines around the country that keep the steam tradition alive.

We used to be able to walk across the tracks near here to access the countryside, but there is now a bridge. I don't know how many accidents there were there, but you could see and hear the trains a long way off. The roads tend to be more dangerous generally.

Stay safe.

Over here our railways have been destroyed, stripped naked and they only use the dangerous roads with heaps of accidents.

I will tell my daughter to go to the York railway museum to take some photos for me.

You also stay safe my friend.
