The Virginia Carolina Railroad, the ONLY reason we have any pre 1900 N&W Classes left. They purchased a small lot of G class 2-8-0s in the early 1900s to build and run the line that would eventually be known as the Virginia Creeper.

On the SacRT gold line tracks past Iron Point. What is that bin of gravel? There is construction on the tracks ahead if that's relevant.

BRITAIN'S LARGEST HERITAGE RAILWAY PROJECT UPDATE (THE GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY'S REUNIFICATION).

The dream to unify two halves of the Great Central Railway (In the UK) is still going on to this day. A lot has happened since. So I will update everyone on here at what has and will happen on the Great Central Railway. In particular the Reunification Project.

The project's aim is too join both Great Central Railway Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire together to create an 18 mile long Heritage Main Line.

A bit of history first.

The Great Central Railway began in 1897 and it's headquarters was in Manchester. The railway ran from Manchester London Road Station (Now Manchester Piccadilly Station) towards South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire. The GCR with other railways would later become part of LNER (London North Eastern Railway) in the 1920's.

The Great Central Railway's London Extension (Great Central Main Line) began in 1899. It was the last built main line to London before High Speed Rail (HS1) began in 1993. The Great Central Main Line went from Sheffield through Nottingham, Leicester, Rugby and Aylesbury all the way to London Marylebone Station (Central London). In the 1960's however (under the beaching cuts) the main line was forced to close completely. Many great railway stations, tunnels and viaducts on this main line were lost and demolished.

However in the 1970's a group of people came together to save the line between Birstall (Now Leicester North station) and Loughborough station. Since then the Great Central Heritage Main Line now has the title "The UK's only double track main line steam railway" in Britain. There is also a heritage railway centre south of Nottingham (In Ruddington) also on the former Great Central Main Line.

THE UPDATE ITSELF

The Great Central Railway (Leicestershire) has released a new YouTube video (below) to update everybody on the progress of the big Reunification Project. The project continues to gather pace with more money/funds coming in to keep the Reunification Project moving forward.

Reunification Wrapped! What's happening and what's next on the Great Central Railway scheme.

Also the planning application process should be completed soon with a final decision expected shortly.
