This is definitely something you wouldn't see nowadays! Swarms of enthusiasts, mix with interested locals, as Castle Class 4-6-0 5029 Nunney Castle takes water at Moreton-in-Marsh on 8 June 1991. This was the loco's first mainline passenger working - an InterCity sponsored Paddington to Great Malvern special. Although obviously with a stationary train, and the signals at danger, there is absolutely no danger whatsoever, modern health & safety would just not allow this kind of mass trespass. Whole families can be seen enjoying the spectacle, and if the kids are getting bored, they can always walk along the point rodding! |
