Hardley Distant
HERITAGE: On Saturday 8th July 2023 I paid a visit to the Churnet Valley Railway in Staffordshire starting my journey at Kingsley & Froghall Station and then on to Cheddleton and up the amazing incline to Ipstones where there is no Station but where the Train runs round before heading back down. This is the second of two posts from my visit to this Railway.... Photo 1: 25322 'Tamworth Castle' is seen stabled in the Siding opposite Cheddleton Station. Photo 2: S160 Steam Locomotive 5197 is seen stabled in Cheddleton Yard before working down the Line light engine to Kingsley & Froghall before working the next service from Kingsley & Froghall to Ipstones. Photos 3 & 4: S160 Steam Locomotive 5197 is seen in the Bay Platform at Cheddleton Station before working down the Line light engine to Kingsley & Froghall before working the next service from Kingsley & Froghall to Ipstones.
