I spent two years travelliing to college on these trains before they were scapped due to electricfication. Although not local it shows how a bunch of hard working people can preserve trains and make a sucess of it. These were the days when trains had individuality. If you read the history of the Hastings line on their website you will see why. The days of the Thumpers
