This weekend sees the three day Swanage Steam Gala, with four steam engines being run continously. These include fare-paying passenger trains, and one freight train with the engines being rotated for the chore. Two of the images, shot at Norden station, depict two of the numerous volunteers that made proceedings run smoothly: one a driver, the other a guard who is seen here manually changing the points (one of several responsibilities the position encompases). The other image is that of 34028 "Eddystone", the 'West Country' pacific class locomotive, which is currently owned by Southern Locomotives Limited, photographed between Corfe Castle and Norden stations.
