Preserved Railways: The West Somerset Railway

28th May 2007

A selection of steam and diesel subjects on the preserved Taunton to Minehead branch, including through workings from the main line. Images have been arranged in route order from Norton Fitzwarren to Minehead to help those planning a photographic trip along the line. But please remember to buy a train ticket to put something in the coffers - without income, there won't be any trains to photograph!
