LOCOMASTER PROFILES - TRACTION 2021 PART 1 |
 |
Programme number 52 in the Traction series covers
the first six months of this year Although 2021
began with another national lockdown, the first six
months of the year produced a deluge of weird and
wonderful workings, along with some significant
traction developments. The on-going introduction of
new passenger stock continued to keep many 'older
generation' locos busy, charter trains resumed
running, heritage railways re-opened to passengers,
many long-absent locos returned to action and there
were plenty of notable loco repaints as well
It all makes for a fascinating 100 minutes of
viewing |
