Railtrail New Year Steam Brochure

The fascination and nostalgia of a steam locomotive at work never ceases to capture my heart. We are very fortunate there are steam locomotives still at work world- wide, whether it be on heritage railways run mostly by volunteers, steam excursions on the mainlines, or even some still providing a daily timetabled passenger service. Although most Railtrail tours include the enjoyment of at least one steam train journey for many of us that is not enough, and over the decades we have created numerous tours to satisfy the most ardent steam fan.

In the following pages we look to capture your imagination: whether it be a short Easter break touring rural Kent & Sussex, an incredible steam festival in Dresden with some remote rural steam lines, soaring to the skies

climbing the Swiss Alps by steam train, or even hopping over to Oz for a sojourn of steam large and small. It’s all here waiting to be discovered …
