The Isle of Purbeck is somewhat peculiar, actually a peninsular which is separated by two rivers and a high ridge in a gap of which nestles the remains of Corfe castle which is connected to Swanage a few miles away by a working steam railway.

The late afternoon train arriving from Swanage, these locomotives and the green carriages were in use up to 1968 and I can remember watching very similar trains on the local mainline when I was growing up.
There's a marvelous smell which surrounds the station while the engine glides smoothy in to the station.
The old British rail heraldic emblem was registered with the College of Heralds and used from 1956 to 1968.
A return train approaching the station with Corfe Castle in the background, the locomotive is running backwards pulling the coaches presumably as there is no turntable available on the railway.
