Because I have always been a railway enthusiast, a very high percentage of my recording was directed towards trains and railways.
I am not a professional camera man, just a private enthusiast. My films are not of high quality but provide a simple record of each location visited.
I thought it would be a good idea to share some of this footage captured over the last 20 years in the hope that it could provide interesting feedback from other enthusiasts who perhaps could comment on their own experiences of the subject locations.
Many of the railways featured in this series have changed greatly over the years, some have closed and others completely disappeared from the landscape.
Please provide your feedback, experiences, comments, corrections or any other input positive or negative. It is all welcome.
I hope you enjoy the videos. I plan to post new material from time to time as and when time itself permits.

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 ...

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...

The October 2018 Golden Hartz Railway Festival Tour, Germany, a meter gauge (3ft 3 3/8") system that runs across the Hartz mountains. The railway still provides a transport service across the area but the main traffic is tourist journeying up the Brocken, the highest mountain in the Hartz. In this short video, I marvel at the remote control diesel shunting maneuvers prior to departure for the B...

A visit to the Launceston Steam Railway on 15 July of 2016. The locomotive in steam that day was Hunslet (678 of 1898) 0-4-0ST 'Covercoat'. The railway operates over a gauge of 1foot 11 1/2 inches (957mm) but has been built over the former standard gauge track bed of the North Cornwall Railway (opened in 1865 from Launceston to Plymouth and closed in 1962).

Following his passing, Jaime's family made me the custodian of his railway films and this presentation was made from some of the material.

The birds sing in a somber mood, turn up the volume and just listen to their song, as power car 43009 pulls to a stop at the platform closing the curtains on a familiar scene which we have all become accustomed with over many years.

CONSET CUTTING, BARBADOS. In 2019, I visited Conset cutting, on the east coast of Barbados, to walk the track bed of the former Barbados Government Railway. At Conset, trains from Bridgetown were able to access the east coast of the island through a steeply inclined cutting, which caused operational difficulties throughout the history of the Barbados Railway. In this video I have highlighted si...

Anyone know is the maker of this is alive? Im fascinated by the train history of Trinidad amd would like to learn more
Wonderful nostalgic trains in "o,""oo" gauges; but why, oh why are the run at such slot car speeds???
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
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.
When I was young I used to say, "bus terminus!" I'm old enough to remember the wooden walkover outside City Gate! This country sweet too bad! If only some citizens would appreciate it more.😢
I really enjoyed this short film, it was very interesting, i think that they should bring back the trains, they were beautiful
Great old days in my home town
PNM love to close down, from train 🚆 to sugar estate, refinery, blood clath boy
It was the biggest mistake the government made
the good old days......
It was a pleasure building the carriages for this
Very well done, those carriages are first class.
i was fortunate to travel on the passenger train in the early 60's, my stop was railway rd. California.
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.
So awesome ❤❤❤. I was a one year old when this happened.
It was the worse and biggest mistake the Authorities had Made 😢😢😢😢
Public Transport Bus Service was and is still the worst decision the government ever made and we the people continue to pay dearly for this. No vision and fore sight by our various governments except for Mr Manning idea of re introducing a public Train System which was put on hold.
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🇻🇪💪🏼
Disculpe que difiera un poco de usted con lo de senderista trasnochado en algo tiene razón de que lo cerraron pero no desde el 67 el tren del encanto después de su cierre desde Caracas a valencia fue recuperado en 1977 luego cerro de nuevo y en 1994 apertura sus servicios hasta el encanto 8 kilómetros de vía ferrea por el cual yo tuve la dicha de ser maquinista

Le sugiero que antes de emitir un comentario negativo y sin saber investigue
El que sale en el vagón en el final del vídeo con la braga azul de mecánico es quien le escribe en este momento
ALL them ppl have pass away my God blessed there souls
2024 abandonado y en deterioro, ojala alguien , o algun politico vea el potencial que tiene este tren desde los lagos al encanto seria un boom en cuanto turismo para los teques, que hagan lavadoras aqui de dolares , como hacen con el parque de dinosaurios recien hecho
{Dom)10DIC23}
Realmente inexplicable , decidió Caldera,obstruir para orientar el cierre, al paseo y tren de El Encanto. Limitada visión histórica de un universitario: ayudar a instruir y educar , generar riqueza social, crear conciencia cívica,
Lamentable decisión histórica de Caldera, clausurar existencia del Tren fel Encanto. Como ninguna acción de slg
I love the history of the trains 😮😮
Last train . . . to San Fernando Last train . . . to San Fernando And if you miss . . . this one Tanty shop goh burn down so Last Train . . . to San Fernando
Can I ask you, what is the title of the song in the video? I have been curious about it for years.
Nice info but all this made me miss home even more..I think I'm due for a vacation 😆
Mr Beadon,,, This is truly a gem of a video sir....I thank you much for the yesteryear pictures of the beautiful trains we had back then.. This video should be in the school curriculum...for our history is where the youths of today may well appreciate what we had and where we came from,,, our forefathers may have a great part to play in this history... Your commentary on the whole on the journey to Arima and the window views of all the Old and famous structures are incredible.. Simply beautiful!!!. I'm a lover of History..and can't wait to start my Bus rides across Trinidad with my TTARP CARD... God Bless someone as special as you...FOR YOUR GREAT WORKS.🤗🤗🤗😍🏚🏚🏡🏡🏠🏠🏤🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🎶🎵🎶🎶🎼💞💞😸
Long time was real ketch arse
MrBeadon Sir, I'80,and traveled on T G R from 10 Mt's to the end of TGR,I would be glad to talk with you.
Biggest mistake
I visited the Barquisimeto station, the CTC room and climbed into the cabin of the GP 9 to chat with the engineer. There was a good restaurant at the station. All that was many years ago.
I got to fire her for a day in 97. I had a friend who got me in the cab and as we were both railroaders it was easy for us to jump into this. It's really sad that this great locomotive is just sitting in parts due to the fracture of a major casting. I hope that they can raise the money and get her fired up again
There was no need for a train system as the population emigrated to the uk to become train drivers
This is so cool to see. You have put a great deal of work in to this. 😎
Very nice video from the place I'm gonna visit soon. .Keep it up 😎
The Truro to Falmouth line is a local train 🚊 service runs everyday including public holidays except Christmas 🎄 🤶 🧑🎄 🎅 Day and Boxing 🥊 Day.

There used to be 2 car class 150/1 and 1 single car class 153/3 were on the route that ran from Truro to Falmouth via Penryn. Class 150/1 has left GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 in late ⏰ December 2018 could have perhaps 🤔 had been on Monday 31st December 2018 (New Year’s Eve) went to NT - Northern and all class 153/3 has left GWR - Great Western Railway 🚃 perhaps 🤔 on Sunday 31st March 2019 and went to various other train 🚆 operators. 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. All trains 🚊 on the Maritime Line has standard class accommodation only and conveys a toilet 🚽 🚻.

Class 158d also used to be used on the Maritime Line. The railway 🚃 staff have good 👍 rules to decide which type of trains 🚊 runs on the Truro to Falmouth (The Maritime Line) because it’s their job. I love 💗 the Maritime Line. I’ve been on the Maritime Line in both years 1995 and 2020 on the 2 car class 150/2. It makes me feel happy 😊. 👍 🤛 🤜 😀 😃 😁
Your efforts to educate and keep a new generation appraised of our history is highly appreciated. May God bless your endeavors.

El Gran Ferrocarril de Venezuela, via de tres pies y medio. La Guaira y Caracas, tres pies. Gran Ferrocarril del Tachira, vía métrica. Mucha diversidad.
It is not 3 foot gauge but three and a half foot gauge, same as Ecuador, Central America, etc. La Guaira and Caracas was 3 foot gauge.
Brother I am so really proud of you, your timing and teaching is priceless, MAY ALMIGHTY BLESS YOU I believe that your information should be seen and thought in our school to remain alive in our hearts and minds. It’s really priceless what you are sharing and note I left Trinidad almost 40 years now and what you thought me now is really informative Remain awesome my country BROTHER MAY THE ALMIGHTY BLESSED YOU,FAMILY AND EVEN THE DRIVER FAMILY AS WELL.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🫡
I'm sure this isn't about San Fernando valley is it?
This a great original version but Winifred Atwells version is better
