lindylou53 Â Â 18 #1 Posted January 19, 2019 Can anyone tell me how/if I can find out the name of the steam train that went through Sheffield Midland Station earlier this week - possibly Tuesday or Wednesday? I have looked online but can only find future dates. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
crazyhorse   37 #2 Posted January 19, 2019 Not sure on the name, but it was a "Black 5" loco with a number starting with 4 I think.  Saw it briefly from the cycle hub.  I think it there on Tuesday about lunchtime Wikipedia mentions 18 are preserved, but only 5 are mainline certified...  Not sure which one I saw though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
nikki-red   295 #3 Posted January 19, 2019  Quote Steam locomotive No.45212 will be back in steam on the mainline and will be in Chesterfield and Keighley on Tuesday 15th January 2019. The Black 5 locomotive is on a light engine movement from Toton TMD to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. The steam locomotive will depart Toton TMD at approximately 08:51 am.  The railtour will then leave for the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, where it will steam through Langley Mill (09:08), Alfreton (09:18), Chesterfield (09:34) and Grindleford (10:41) before arriving into Sheffield at 11:49. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2019/01/steam-locomotive-45212-to-arrive-at-the-keighley-and-worth-valley-railway-this-tuesday.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nationally, there are about 20 engines with current mainline certificates(applied for annually, so always changing). Another 30 have recently had, are awaiting or will get mainline running certificates. Another 100+ steam engines in steam on standard gauge heritage railways. Dozen more in passenger service on narrow gauge. More being re-built. Many more in storage or mothballed. A few in bits One or two being built from scratch.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

MEC176   10 #9 Posted February 23, 2019 Morning, retired interested in steam can anyone out there in the know tell me if or when in 2019 there are any steam runs that will pass from Sheffield Midland through on the main line either passing Meadow Hall interchange or on to the main line heading towards Barnsley or where I can find this information it always seems very vague when it’s going to happen usually getting to know after the event, many thanks.
