Telford STEAM RAILWAY | FIRST LOCO over the NEW CROSSING! | 16.06.2024

On Sunday I paid a visit to the delightful preserved Telford Steam Railway.
A split line with a short trip out in reverse from Spring Village to Lawley Village before running forwards to Horsehay & Dawley, and repeating the return in reverse. After the final service of the day, a complex series of shunting movements involving the taff tank, diesel shunter and pacer were performed to get the steam locomotive back on shed! It's also worth noting I am informed the final clip of 5619 crossing the road over into the shed is the first time a train has run over this section since the new road crossing has been completed!
I hope you enjoy this video and thank you for watching! If you like what you've seen, please head over to Instagram for more / brunelheritage and please feel free to leave comments, ratings, and subscribe to the channel.

love the modle railway,

[@cliffboulton8763]

Me too, but why do the operators bring the trains into Stations at break-neck speed and then stop dead?

17:14 oh blimey just when I thought that there had been some development and the train was going to continue in towards Lightmoor junction… I don’t understand why there has been no development ?

Speaking to folk at the line last weekend, the extension is progressing well and they aren't too far off so hopefully some progress in the coming next couple of years! 🤞

As a volunteer here, I can claim the track had been laid down in the past however we had to take it up again, so hopefully we will make progress laying it down again with the time we have.

Wasn't there plans to also build a Proper Station at Lawley Common with Station Building, Facilities & Run-Round Loop or has things changed because of the Housing Estate...

Why the attachment to jet warplanes at the beginning?

To me these sit on trains look silly, just my opinion
