| Union of South Africa was working RTC's 'The Hadrian' tour from Tyne Yard to Hellifield today, and tankered water was not required as adequate supply can be locally sourced at Upperby Shed, Appleby Station and Hellifield Station. With the luxury of a Saturday off, I bundled the family into the wife's Galaxy and took them to Appleby to see Number 9. |

At the south end of the up platform at Appleby on the S&C there's a water tower for filling steam locos. This was refurbished and reinstated in 1991 by members of Appleby Round Table. Here Union of South Africa has just watered and has the road. 2330x1866 PICT0036.JPG Buy Print |
