Description
Join us back in May 2000 for the final part of the FNW Class 37 Farewell Railtour. Having parted with 37029/038 at Preston, the first clip finds us passing through Lancaster, where I was born in 1943, in my grandmas house next to the branch line from Castle Station down to Green Ayre station and depot. No doubt the very reason trains have been by lifetime interest.
If only video was invented back then !
