Upwey Wishing Well Halt, Weymouth – 3rd July 1966 & 31st May 1967.
Whilst main line BR steam lasted until August 1968 it was never the same for me after SR steam finished in July 1967. I would sit on the top of the abutments of the first Bincombe Tunnel on summer afternoons and see steam train after steam train.
The five recordings are:
A) 45493 & 34002 ascending Bincombe Bank with the Green Arrow rail tour on 3/7/66.
