Kingmoor and Upperby: 1964 |
| On 28th November 1964, the Warwickshire Railway Society Carlisle railtour from Birmingham included visits to both Kingmoor and Upperby sheds. Below is the result of a few photographs taken during the afternoon. Creating decent pictures from 40 year old worn transparencies requires better image manipulation skills than I possess. But at least they do capture the atmosphere of Kingmoor at the time, with rows of condemned locomotives, and the poor condition of the rest. Towards the foot of this page, I have included details of what was seen on 68A and 12A sheds, and in the vicinity of Carlisle. | ||
