4 comments | Inside a British Rail 20 ton brake van No.B953231 built in 1956. Being a freight train Guard must have been a great job in the summer. Perhaps not so much in the winter or overnight in the rain!

If you want to have a brief taste of what it might have been like to be a Guard on a Goods train on a cold winter morning….. Barrow Hill Roundhouse Railway Centre are running Brake Van rides this weekend. It is the last open weekend until March 2026. It’s only a short ride along their track, but if the weather stays cold you might perhaps get a sense of what it used to be like! Barrow Hill is in Derbyshire, near Chesterfield. #trains #diesellocomotive #railway#heritagerailway #fblifestyle #Brake
