GWR 150 Anniversary Special #GWR #SteamTrains #BritishSteam,

GWR 150 Steam Celebrations – 1985 Back in 1985, the Great Western Railway marked its 150th anniversary with an incredible series of steam specials across the network—and what a sight it was.

This rare film captures unforgettable moments, from footplate rides on Clun Castle, to double-headed Castles storming the Devon Banks, and the long-awaited return of City of Truro to action after 24 years. From Dawlish’s sea wall to the climb of Sapperton Bank, steam truly came back to life.

Now nearly 40 years old, the footage shows signs of age—but the sounds and atmosphere remain as powerful as ever. A true golden moment for British steam.
