Military might returns to Mid-norfolk

ON March 4, the Mid-norfolk Railway carried its first military train in 11 years.

A 12-wagon train carrying 16 wheeled armoured vehicles was moved along the line for the 1st The Queen’s Dragoon Guards.

The train was moved overnight from Ludgershall to Wymondham, where resident Class 47 No. 47367 hauled the train to Dereham yard and into the line’s recently-completed maintenance shed. GB Railfreight Class 66 No. 66778 provided support at the rear.

Soldiers unloaded the Army vehicles from wagons.
