Swanage Railway

Photographs taken in July 2005
A summer miscellany on the Swanage Railway - summer weather was scarce in late July but the railway provided an intensive service for the Swanage Carnival weekend including late night running until midnight! Motive power over the weekend was provided by 813, 6412, Crompton 33 108 and the DMU.
