From the footbridge
No. 31806 waits at Corfe Castle. She is about to head down to Swanage in reverse. I always think it is good to see engines running along their original routes and this is the case here. To quote from Swanage Railway's website "No. 31806 used to run down to Corfe Castle and Swanage during the British Railways days of the 1950s and is the quintessential Southern Railway branch line locomotive"
