This is the original forum of the Bristol Railway Archive that existed between 2003 and 2013. I finally rescued it after it seemed unrecoverable after a large crash. I have made it available for viewing. It is locked, all posts to the new version please!
Use this forum to talk about the railways in and around Bristol, or for any off-topic stuff you want to share. Also request photos and information that you are missing.
In Mike Vincent's book about the Portishead branch, it makes reference to road salt trains on the wrapping wharf branch which were stored in a siding near the SS Great Britain. Does anyone have any recollections of this?
