Alloa Railway Re-opening

[starbkjrus]

Wonderful pics Alex. Thanks for sharing those. I love the idea of reviving old railroads.

We have an old rail line running through my town that is now a park (bike and hiking trails). It runs from Washington DC, through here and out to Leesburg VA. We could REALLY use that as a commuter rail line now as the "Dulles Corridor" is now one of the fastest growing in the Washington area. It's still wide enough for a double track. Of course they'll never reclaim it from parkland though. Too many people use it for recreation and even bicycle commuting.

Nice thought though.

Great pics, Alex. They bring back fond memories of riding on old coal fed steam trains as a child. I loved to lean my head out the window and feel the wind in my hair. Unfortunately, whenever the train took a bend in the direction of the window in which I was leaning out, I got a face full of soot and ended up looking like a reverse mime.

A ninteen sixties deisel locomotive was on hand at Stirling to take the special train back to Alloa.

Wonderful pictures, Alex.
Gives me an idea though : I have to find trains to match my kilts as a general accessory !
