The Severn Valley Railway with Ivatt 2 2-6-0 46443 and Hunslet WD 0-6-0ST 193 Shropshire simmering away in the engine shed yard at Bridgnorth. Fifty years ago the station was very quiet and no-one was enjoying a rest on that even older, probably Victorian wooden railway bench. HBM to everyone on Ipernity. Enjoy the start of the new May week

he morning sun catches GWR pannier tank 0-6-0PT 7714 and Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0 43106 as they back off Bridgnorth shed shrouded by steam. They would then double-head the 08.00 local train to Kidderminster, the first train of the day.

A shot from the passenger footbridge at Highley station as Great Western Railway 28XX 2-8-0 2857 arrives with a train for Bridgnorth. Hawksworth 0-6-0PT 1501 waits in the middle road with the stock of the next shuttle working to Kidderminster.

Shrouded in steam the signalman & the fireman from British Railways Standard 4 4-6-0 75069 exchange single-line staffs. The fireman is giving up the one from Hampton Loade while the signalman is handing over the staff to the next crossing point at Arley to the south. A late afternoon scene on the Saturday of the SVR Autumn Gala.

GWR 0-6-0PT 5764 was bought from BR by London Transport in 1960 & became their L95. It was purchased by the SVR in 1971 after the end of steam on LT.
