View from an Engine Front - Barnstaple (1898 thoughts

found some great more footage from the past which I thought would share and give you thoughts on but before that below is info on the video.


This 'phantom ride' along a stretch of partly elevated track through the Devon town of Barnstaple and its main station is an oddly haunting experience. Aside from two briefly-glimpsed London & South-Western Railway employees waving flags, no human activity is apparent until the train reaches the main railway station - an earlier platform is mysteriously deserted. However, this allows a greater opportunity to appreciate what are still clearly recognisable Barnstaple locations, with good views of the town as the train approaches the station. (Michael Brooke) thanks BFI for the info.


I must say after watching it was cool watching this felt like I was on a train ride on youtube amazing footage going though the town and see rail road tracks along with house and some people very rare footage this is  but it was indeed amazing I could watch this for hours indeed very cool footage for the year 1898 that right year 1898  nice camera shot from Engine Front too check out below for this amazing footage from way over 100 or more years ago.
