Heritage Railway: Steam returns to the Underground (Steam Train on The Tube, London)

[@K2shadowfax]

Now that's locomotion! And a great way to steam-clean those grubby ceilings!

[@TheScotsmanReturns]

BTW: I meant in the tunnels not the station. My uncle managed to allow me to see it, but only for a short amount of time.

[@Thekingin64]

Now that is cool! I'm surprised that would fit!

Subway ventilation systems can handle DELs but not SLs. DELs often do shifting operations for new subway vehicles and there is even a pre-PSD photo of doing so. SL day subways were open at the top and thus not suitable as NBC shelters,their secondary purpose.

No. Beattie well tanks generally worked in South-Western England.

[@TheScotsmanReturns]

I saw the engine at Baker street, and from my point of view, it only just managed to fit.

Very cool

[@GWRkid]

Do they get blowback problems because of the low roof close to the top of the funnel ?

[@doynk2]

so many useful hi vis jackets

[@TheSaint491]

I wonder if a dukedog would fit

Now you know why steam had not been used between 1905 and 2012 in the London underground. Although Edwardian Londoners wouldn't have thought of cancer, they'd have thought of other illnesses, which amounts to the same thing as far as policy goes.

How does that thing not set off the fire alarms?

[@Harrison1420]

So did that exact locomotive used to work in the Underground?

[@spragger]

Steam never worked on the tube lines..............the Met and the District are not "tubes".
