The star of the show.....60009 Union of South Africa.

Todays Steam Dreams 'Cathedrals Express' is to Norwich...a journey of over 125 miles in each direction that will require water stops along the way. With 12 full coaches plus the class 31 on the rear this is a considerable load for this superbly maintained main line loco. Date is the 11th October 2003 and the place appropriately is London Kings Cross...the very station these locos departed from in their days when they provided the motive power for the runs to Scotland and the North of England.
