Queenborough is so Bracing!

On 25th May 2001, former British Army of the Rhine Andrew Barclay 0-6-0 diesel-hydraulic '871' (Works No.510 built in 1966) heads away from the wharf for the rolling mill at Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey, trundling along the inebriated and overgrown one-mile branch line to the rolling mill. Steel has been offloaded from the River Blyth ship, berthed at the end of the rail-connected pier seen directly above the rear of the loco's cab.
