Driver and Station Master exchange a staff as this LNWR 'local' stops for passengers
Overview
Amateur footage shot by William Henry Youdale of activities at a railway station. A LNWR tank locomotive arrives as people wait on the platform. As the train arrives the Driver and Station Master exchange a Single Line Working token. People alight from the third class carriage. There is some thought that the station could possibly be Cockermouth. Can you help identify this location?
