Decades of Steam 1960s

The 1960's were to see the end of steam locomotion and the public railway network in Great Britain. This, the final part of a series of 100% archive film programmes, traces the last years of main line steam. From the standard classes build by 'BR' itself through to one-offs, there were many steam classes still at work in the 1960's, and this programme includes '9fs 'Britannias', West Counties, Jubilees', 'Castles', Gresley-designed Pacifics and many goods and tank engines as they passed into history.
