This event was billed as the "Last Steam Train ******" I'm not sure of the last word. It was taken near where the first person to be killed by a train took place near Parkside Collery. I would guess it is late 60's. Sorry for the quality I was learning how to develop and print my own photos ( trial & error I'm afraid ) There was quite a large crowd there as the train made a special stop by the monument.
