Welcome to Taunton Trains
The WSR Collection
26th October 2009 to 4th December 2005

The WSR is the local Preserved Railway as as such provides 22 miles of Steam and Diesel traction which rivals any other in the country. There is always somthing going on at this Preservation Centre, and over the years hunderds of photo's have been taken from various events and normal service days!
2005 will also see a regular diesel diagram operating on peak summer services to help cope with the extra loadings.
Regular Diesel Running Days / Galas also help the WSR to appeal to a broad range of Enthusiasts
Photo's in this gallery are plentyful from the years I've been photographing on the line!
