The Bluebell Railway was one of the first preserved railways in the UK, beginning operations in 1960. It was started by a group of enthusiasts wishing to preserve steam railway operations for posterity.
At that time, steam was widespread on Britain’s railways, so the Bluebell was able to secure many historic locomotives, carriages and wagons for its collection. Many are now well over 100 years old.
Join author, enthusiast and Bluebell Railway volunteer Keith Leppard behind the scenes in this new 64-page volume of The Railways & Recollections series.
