Disused railway stations (Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway)

Disused railway stations (Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway) is a compilation of closed stations on a cross-country train line in England. There are 16 of these stations. Some of them have funny British names. Each has its own special history.

Railway stations are special places. People get on. People get off. People say goodbye. People say hello. People run away. People return home. People go to the bathroom. People read books. People take trains. People, take trains.

Take trains, people.

Much of the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton line is still intact.

Oldenburg T 5.1

Oldenburg T 5.1 was a German steam locomotive designed in the early 20th century. It had a defect that resulted in bad riding quality at high speeds. In this way, the Oldenburg T 5.1 is like my 1999 Toyota Camry.

The Oldenburg T 5.1 was retired in 1930.
