A Day in the Life of 5619 at Telford Steam Railway

Описание: On its first weekend of passenger service since refurbishment, we follow GWR 56XX steam loco No. 5619 and its crew through a day of operations from Spring Village to Horsehay & Dawley station.

If you want to see the events we operate such as The Polar Express, you can visit our website here: http://www.telfordsteamrailway.co.uk/

We currently have an appeal to buy a new boiler for our narrow gauge steam tram.

A complete new built vertical boiler is available to buy for £8500. We need your donations now to enable the railway to secure it for our steam tram before it is too late. You can help us greatly by donating at : https://gofund.me/093e7130

As a thank you, we are offering rewards for certain levels of donations, although every single one is gratefully received and will help put our tram back into operation.
