S&DJR 88 at Stogumber
A little memento from the late lamented Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway, which operated its very own fleet of locomotives to compliment the locomotives provided by the London Midland & Scottish Railway as well as the Southern Railway. These included a fleet of 2-8-0 locomotives designed along similar principals to that of LMS goods engines.
Today two of these locomotives continue to exist, and one is seen here in the form of Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway 7F number 88, working a train from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard at Stogumber.
The other preserved locomotive is classmate 7F number 89, which now resides at the Midland Railway in Butterley.
Many thanks to my brother for taking this photo, I was at the other end of the station chatting.
