steamtrains and railways…

Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 29th January 2011

by Loose_Grip/Pete
Great Western Railway 38xx 2-8-0 3850 heads towards Quorn on the southern edge of Loughborough with a train of empty 16 tonners.

The 94 milepost is the distance by rail from Manchester London Road station & not London, evidence of the GCR's roots as the MS&LR.
