Tracks to the Trenches - troop transportation
The Apedale Valley Light Railway's event to remember the railways in WWI. Here we see LR2478 hauling a trailer full of troops in WWI attire including puttees. LR2478 is a 20 horsepower Motor Rail tractor built in 1918 as works No. 1757. It possibly never made it to France and the front but by 1920 it was acquired by the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway to work sand quarries in that area. Behind the train is a demonstration WWI trench.
