It has something of the air of a heritage railway about it: West Somerset Railway?  Tongue
Logged
William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Correct.

I managed to get to Yeovil Railway Centre from Tisbury just as the 'Clan Line' hauled Sherborne Christmas Carol railtour arrived, where it was fed, watered and turned. The Railway Centre and its cafe were open for the railtour, catering for the large crowd of enthusiasts, and some passengers from the train, there to see the various shunting moves.

Some exceptionally complicated shunting moves to .....
- move Clan Line's support coach into a siding;
- turn Clan Line;
- move supporting diesel, 47848, from one end to the other;
- use local diesel shunter to propel support coach to the 'London' end;
- finally move Clan Line to the 'London' end.


*** Edited to correct supporting Class 47 number! ***

Glad JayMac & PhilWakely visited us today and that the rain kept off until after departure! Always hard work for the Volunteers but a satisfying job well done.
