Tight Squeeze (5pips) HFF

Weighing 68 imperial tons this Steam Locomotive is arriving back to the West Somerset Railway Stabling yard at Minehead after a hire period on another railway. Illegally parked cars and a steep drop turns this into an especially difficult maneuver.

Please view large and visit pips.

A fascinating series of a most unusual street scene, Roger. If I'd been among the organisers, that view of the tyres in the PiP would have had me really worried! HFF and have a great weekend.

A great capture of this unique sight Roger. We have recently been watching a series regarding heavy transportation and trains and I am sure this trip was shown at one point. ⭐
Love it. Well done.

HFF, enjoy your weekend. Herb

A super set of images Roger. A narrow street and parked cars plus an ever growing audience must have made this a nightmare of a job. It was fascinating to watch and I am pleased you captured it all so beautifully. The driver still had to get it around the bend at the bottom of the street once he had negotiated this one so deserved the wholehearted round of applause he received. Fascinating as I said but fascinating to see your photos too.

HFF and a lovely weekend to you
