New Year

A Memory of Three Bridges.

at the stroke of midnight every locomotive "on shed" at the loco shed that had any steam left in its boiler would have the whistle sounded[ it does not sound much until you hear 20 or so loco whistles at the same time !

I remember new year and train whistles. I lived near Southall shed. The sound at midnight was incredible never forgotten.

My dad worked on the railways at three bridges in the early fifties and he would let us stay up on New Year’s Eve to hear the train whistles. We lived in Pearson Rd so it was quite an experience.
