4277 Churchward GWR 2-8-0T - a photo on Flickriver

            Reliving the days of smoke and steam… Former Great Western Railway 2-8-0T tank engine No. 4277 thunders through Consall Station in Staffordshire. 4277 is a preserved British steam locomotive that was built at GWR’s Swindon Works in in 1920.

The Churnet Valley line was one of the three original routes planned and built by the North Staffordshire Railway. Authorised in 1846, the line opened in 1849 and ran from North Rode in Cheshire to Uttoxeter in East Staffordshire. The line was closed in several stages between 1964 and 1988 but part of the central section passed into the hands of a preservation society and today operates as the Churnet Valley Railway.
