Ray Von Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 My first close encounter with a stream train! I really wish that my local council/media would publicise events such as this, I only found out by chance that this train was on its way to Margate after it had already arrived! Luckily it had a layover at Margate Station for a couple of hours, so I high-tailed it to Broadstairs to catch a glimpse as it trundled through. There was a comic moment when a scheduled service arrived at platform 2 at precisely the time that this steam train was due - several serious train spotters and photographers (who had set up camp in the "best" spot) were seen to have a blue fit! Luckily the scheduled train departed (seconds) before this glorious loco passed through Broadstairs Station. A great experience - being on the footbridge and enveloped in the steam and smoke as the bridge shook was wonderful! I captured it's visit in a short video and the above is a screenshot. If anyone knows of a database of steam train movement, please share it here...? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
