First overnight at Hercules

Post by John Ashworth »

On the night of Saturday 6th September 2008, locomotive 2650 was stabled overnight at Hercules, the first time we had stabled a loco in steam at the new site.

Dawn, a new day and a new train. After an overnight stay at Hercules, the loco simmers gently at the head of her load to Cullinan. In the background, safety jacket standing out, is Guard Tony Attwell, checking the load.

After an overnight rest, 2650 stands on her train for the day, awaiting passengers. This section of the platform area will one day be the main departure point.
