EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print captured by NCJ from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 17th of March 1984, witnessing a heartfelt farewell given by hundreds of rail fans to the Consett-Newcastle rail service. The Derwentside Rail Action Group, after learning that their valiant campaign to save the line had unfortunately failed, decided to charter the last train and organize a memorable farewell celebration. Amidst a snowy backdrop, two individuals named Don Kent and Peter Graham take center stage in front of the final train departing from Consett. Dressed in costumes reminiscent of an era gone by, they strike a pose that exudes both nostalgia and reverence for this beloved mode of public transport. A wreath placed on the diesel engine symbolizes not only mourning for its imminent departure but also gratitude for years of faithful service. This image captures more than just a moment; it encapsulates an entire journey filled with memories shared between communities connected through these rails. It serves as a reminder that railways have always held a special place in our hearts - connecting people, places, and stories. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, let us remember those dedicated rail enthusiasts who gathered on that day over three decades ago. Their presence stands as testament to the enduring power and impact of railways on our lives – forever etched into history's tapestry.
