Carnforth's 40th Anniversary of the end of British Rail Steam
Carnforth was once a very important shed on the west coast London Scottish main line. I lived next to that shed as a teenager and on the 40th Anniversary of the last British Rail steam train leaving Carnforth I was invited to go back to film a very special weekend organised as a joint venture between Railway Magazine and the current owners of the shed, West Coast Railways. Being there on the Friday as the steam trains and deisels arrived was quite an experience for me, an ex railwayman's son.
This is an excerpt from that unique film which is included in my double dvd The Lune Valley Our Heritage. Also in Bittern Country Our Heritage
