Imagine the scene,When the steam engine was part of everyday life.The busy platform full of people going about
their business.The milk churns and carts full of mail bags awaiting the train to their destinations,and when the train arrives,The
steam,warm oil and coal,The Driver and Fireman in control of their powerful engine,sight and sounds that are not easily forgotten.Porters
would be in attendance to assist passengers with their luggage.Children,young and not so young with their books and pencil
ready to take the engine number.Imagine the scene...........
Imagine the scene because its all gone,no longer is there milk and postbags on platforms,nor are there any
porters to assist,these days your lucky if the station is manned at all,This site tries to captue these long gone times by
way of photos taken at Preserved Railways such as K&WVR and The East Lancs Railway.This site is dedicated to the vast
number of volunteers who give up their time,and work incredibley hard so we can return to a much better time even if its only
for an hour or so ......
