| Featured in these photographs is the
first ever passenger train on the branch to
Boston Dock since it opened in 1884. This Branch
Line Society from Bromley South also traversed
the Boutham Triangle near Lincoln and the
Sleaford Avoiding Line before continuing to
Boston and thence a short trip down the Port of
Boston siding and the Dock Branch itself where it
is seen below pasing the unique signal box,
crossing the Swing Bridge and with the last
remaining GNR Somersault signal still in use. The
train itself was a Hastings DEMU set 60118 "Tunbridge
Wells" + 60501 + 70262 + 60529 + 60000
"Hastings", the first time such a unit
has ever operated to this part of Lincolnshire. |
