WORCESTER DIGLIS, PERSHORE TOWN AND BESFORD JUNCTION IN GAUGE O - MY NEW GARDEN RAILWAY PROJECT
Worcester (Diglis), Pershore Town (LMS) and Besford Junction in gauge O was built in sections between the late 80s and early 90s by my friend John Webster.
John’s original idea was to create a piece of Worcestershire history that once might have been, but in the end was never built.
John not only researched the topic over several years, he also built most of the rolling stock, buildings, and created a working layout of what these locations may have looked like over a century ago when “railway mania” had taken hold across Britain.
This layout has featured twice in Railway Modeller magazine. First in May of 1988 as “Pershore (Midland)” and again in March of 1991, where it achieved ‘Railway of ...

The Krakow City Tramway system in Poland has been in operation since 1882. The first trams were horse drawn and tracks were 2ft 11 7/16 In. In 1901 work began on electrification of the entire system and in 1913 the change over from narrow to standard gauge (4ft 8 1/2In) began. As of 2013 the system operates over 90 kilometers of track and there are ongoing plans for future expansion. This video...

A visit in 2014 to the Florida Railroad Museum in search of a 44t GE Locomotive

I have not seen a 44t General Electric locomotive in the flesh since 1965 when I frequently saw them running on the Trinidad Government Railway. On July 10th 2014 I was able to see one of these units for the first time in over 48 years and had the opportunity of driving a locomotive very similar to the ones that ran in Trinidad. This engine, which now belongs to the Florida Railroad Museum, onc...

    I appreciate this historical record. As a child my parents would tell me about their adventures riding on the train and my dad preserved a train ticket in our family album and apparently my great grandfather was a checker for the railway. None of this compares to seeing the documents and archival footage.

    I used to live in Evans Street, Curepe and the trains used to pass in front of the house. My elderly grandmother used to wait for the train to pass on Fridays at 12:30 pm. That was the time for her weekly prayer. And I traveled on that last train to San Fernando, the 5:08, coming off at St. Gill’s Halt.I still have dreams of the trains.

    Porque no dicen la verdad? Ese sistema ferroviario fue abandonado en 1966 y desde ese tiempo hasta cerrado lo trataron de poner a funcionar y el trabajo se hacia a medias y volvio a ser cerrado luego trataron nuevamente y lo pusieron como algo turistico y no iba nadie si no algunos que iban y de paso los delincuentes hacian su agosto alli y lograron espantar a los pocos que se atrevían a ir a ese paseo. El estado prefirio no seguir invirtiendo alli ya que aunque acabarán con la delincuencia !Nadie iba alli! Lo demas es pendejada, ya desde que todo ha evolucionado el transporte tambien evoluciono y esa via del tren del encanto esta caduca y absndonada desde 1966 que cerro sus operaciones comerciales. Lo demás es pendejadas de senderistas estranochado. Asi de sencillo🇻🇪💪🏼

GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 runs every half hour on Mondays to Saturdays and public holidays, Sundays only is every hour and finally no service on 25th and 26th December are both Christmas 🎄 🤶 🧑‍🎄 🎅 Day and Boxing 🥊 Day. There are 6 railway 🚃 stations 🚉 between Truro and Falmouth via Penryn are Truro, Perranwell, Penryn, Penmere, Falmouth Town and finally Falmouth Docks. The short passing loop 🔁 has happened on the Maritime Line since October 2008 to allow 2 trains 🚆 🚆 to pass each other at the same time 🕰️ has happened for almost 😅 15 years.
