Description

A variety of steam engines in various settings. Steam trains are filmed steaming down the tracks through the countryside. We see steam engines at work in industrial settings including Agecroft Power Station and Bickershaw Colliery. A steam train, 'Harry', is transported by road on a flat bed lorry from Walkden NCB workshops to Bickershaw. In Whitehaven, people are seen taking steam train rides for fun.
