A Photo from Day 4 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

The West Somerset Railway runs trains from Bishops Lydeard station to Dunster with a bus transfer to Minehead at the moment due to a problem with a level crossing.

 

There is ample car parking at the Bishops Lydeard end of the line so I started there.

The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 3 steam excursion running hauled by Steam Locomotives.

 

Here, large Prairie 5199 is at Bishops Lydeard Station having just Powered the Steam Excursion return journey from Dunster that I have a ticket for.

5199 is a Collett designed GWR "Class 5101" 2-6-2T loco.

 

Good to get Train Rides behind 2 different Steam Locos.
