Steam at Bristol Docks

On the 9th April 2006, we witnessed some shunting around Bristol Docks, by Avonside 0-6-0 Saddle Tank, 'Portbury'.
Portbury was built in 1917 by the Avonside Engine Company, to build number '1764'.

Thanks Bob. Haven't been there in a short while, mainly because I never know when the running dates are. These scenes were caught purely by chance! Thanks again. Phil.

[@trainlover658]

aye.... tis a familiar sight... but for how long? apparently the guided busway peoples want these tracks

[@mercury7590]

It's a preserved line, and a piece of history. I don't think they'll get it.

The other end of the line is now the road for the buses and some of the other track and buildings are now new restaurants and shops.
