The Watlington Branch June 1957

The last train on the Watlington branch ran on 29th of June 1957. The events of that day were recorded by the distinguished railway photographer Mike Esau. A week before another fine photographer, Antony Linaker also visted our line and photographed pannier 5755 in action. They have kindly allowed us to include their work in these pages.(Please note that the copyright on these images is retained by the respective photographers)
