A branch line view in the late 1950s? Between Corfe Castle and Harman's Cross with the engine working well. Little appears to have changed since the late 50s. And the train was clearly carrying local people returning home with their shopping - a working railway in the community. |

Arrival at Swanage - end of the day and the signalman collects the single line staff as 80104 eases along the platform. |

Last duty of the day - 80104 leads the empty train away to shunt the carriages into the yard. |
