Great Central Railway Swithland Leicestershire 25th October 2015

After the last round trip from Mountsorrel station we returned, still top and tailing with Y7 0-4-0T, to Swithland Sidings and from there to Loughborough ecs and disposal.


In a sort of modern version of the Titfield Thunderbolt we arrived at Swithland Junction at the same time as a main line express passed through. Not a Castle but a Peak, D123, roars southwards as Teddy, Peckett 0-4-0ST 2012, is signalled off the branch.

Best seen large.
