Welcome to the Picture 41

page of the FSMR website

 

 

Although the SMR only runs for the public twice a year (during the summer), the FSMR operates the railway for its members and other special runs throughout the year.

One special occasion is the traditional New Years day steam up which has been part of the FSMR tradition now, since restoring the railway in 1995.

1st of Jan 2002 was no exception and the Curwen Atlantic Green

"John H Gretton" was the "lucky" locomotive providing motive power for the day.

As and added bonus, sub-zero temperatures and lying snow combined with sun and blue sky made for very pleasant photographic opportunities and a very enjoyable trip for members and their families.

 

 Coasting down the bank to the Haven, The green "John H Gretton" undertakes the New years day task with ease.
