A Railway Child
Hi, My Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather were all locomotive drivers in the age of steam. My Great Grandfather and Grandfather were drivers at Kingmoor in Carlisle and my Dad at Motherwell.
I live about 400 yards from the West Coast Main Line in the village of Law which was also the home of the marshalling yard known as Law Junction.
I get very emotional when I see a steam loco - my childhood memories I suppose. The tourist trains often pass through the village some are steam hauled. Last week there was a steam hauled double header heading to the Highland passing through the village. Of course, I was there but when it arrived it was diesel hauled. What a disappointment!!!!
I am doing my family history and hoping that some members will be able to put some meat on the bones of my knowledge of my Gr. Grandfather and Grandfathers lives
Many thanks,
Dorothy
