Severn Valley Railway - Recordings from 2008
Re-opening day, Friday 21st March 2008.
The first train was cheered away from Kidderminster
by those on board. Everyone was happy to see the SVR back in business over
the whole line. But it was a bitterly cold day with very high winds and
occasional icy showers. Not the best day for sound recording, so only a few
tracks are posted here.

from Kidderminster. Recorded from the road running along the line, where major
earthworks have been done to repair the embankment. 1:05, 1.2MB.
S&DJR Fowler 2-8-0 88 approaching
