SZ5391 : Reversing past the train at Wootton station
taken 11 years ago, near to Wootton Common, Isle of Wight, England
Reversing past the train at Wootton station
Wootton station is the western terminus of the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. The locomotive Waggoner Link arrived here pulling the carriages a few minutes ago. Now Waggoner is reversing towards points beyond the other end on the train, to switch tracks for the return journey.

Isle of Wight Steam Railway :: SZ5589 (provided by Malc McDonald)
There was once a network of railway lines serving the Isle of Wight. Almost all were closed down in the 1950s and 1960s, leaving just one remaining line linking Ryde Pier with Shanklin.
The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a "heritage" railway run by volunteers, which has restored services to section of line between Wootton and Smallbrook. At Smallbrook the line ends at a specially-built station, where passengers can interchange with the Ryde to Shanklin train service.
