The Churnet Valley Railway with USATC S160 5197

The Churnet Valley Railway with USA Transportation Corps S160 5197 2-8-0 built Lima, Ohio 1945. Based in China from 1946 until the 1990s on coal freight. It was overhauled at Llangollen and returned to traffic in 1998. This video starts at Froghall and Kingsley runs beside the Caldon Canal to a stop at Consall and on through Cheddleton. The final section shows the run round at Leekbrook Junction and the return to Cheddleton.

5197 is currently at the Epping Ongar Railway. I like the bit at 5:40 with the sheep, which are not our problem though. We tend to get the odd herd of deer trying to outrun the train .

Красивый локомотив! Во время войны 1941-45 годов их поставляли по лендлизу в Россию, где им присваивалась марка Ша.
