🚂👨‍🔧 Steam trains and shovel-fried eggs. Ernest Aldrich lived it all. From wartime Calcutta to Watford Junction, he drove the #AbbeyFlyer and electric trains to Euston. A proud legacy bridging old and new. #RailwayMemories #WatfordJunction #Railway200 abbeylinecommunityrail.org.uk/railway-200/

#AbbeyLineTales Rodney Salter rode one of the first diesel railcars in the 1950s—his dad even filmed from the cab! Sadly, the bumpy ride made the footage a blur. Steam memories linger too, watching locos thunder past #Watford North Halt just feet away. #RailwayHistory #DieselDays #Railway200
