DOUBLE HEADER POWER! | 7029 Clun Castle & 45596 Bahamas UNASSISTED at Hemerdon

Two legends of steam take on one of the West Countrys toughest climbs. GWR 7029 Clun Castle and LMS 45596 Bahamas worked together to haul their train up Hemerdon providing a rare and spectacular display of double-headed main line steam. Starting from the early hours of the morning The mayflower departed Birmingham New Street at 6:00 headed for Plymouth. It powered up the West Country banks without a problem with 37410 & 37240 running behind just in case. the mayflower arrived at Plymouth 13:10 with the 37s arriving just a bit after it.

The sight of Castle and Jubilee power side by side on Great Western territory is unforgettable a true highlight for steam enthusiasts and a reminder of the golden age of express locomotives.
