The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a heritage railway on the Isle of Wight. The railway passes through 5 1⁄2 miles (9 km) of countryside from Smallbrook Junction to Wootton station, passing through the small village of Havenstreet, where the line has a station, headquarters and a depot. The railway is owned and operated by the Isle of Wight Railway Co. Ltd. and run largely by volunteers. The railway is popular with tourists, attracting people to its original steam locomotives, Victorian and Edwardian rolling stock, and railway cafe. Four-wheeled carriage 6378 is a 4-compartment composite built in 1886 by the London Chatham and Dover Railway, and tranferred for service on the Isle of Wight in 1930

Ex-GWR 6380
South end of Wrexham General station.
The ornate metalwork surround around the roof of the main station entrance can be seen above the A541 Mold Road bridge.
The 89B shedcode is not Brecon but Wrexham Croes Newydd, dating the photo between 10/9/60 & 17/6/61.

LNER D11/2 "Director" 6383 Jonathan Oldbuck which became BR 62676. Another D11 stands behind with its number infuriatingly obscured. The D11/2s were always allocated to Scottish depots.

-Eastbound freight heads into the sunrise at Crestline on the former PRR, crossing the former NYC/Big Four.
Lines are now NS and CSX, CR 6386 is now CSXT 8810, and the highway in the background (Ohio route 61) now crosses the area on a bridge.
