Bailey Gate Railway Station 1960's Dorset UK Subtitles Part 4

http://captionworld.co.uk
S&D Steam Railway Bailey Gate station Dorset and the cheese making factory United Dairies. Filmed in 1984 with superimposed archive film of the goods yard in the early 1960's. CC. Closed captions.Subtitles Edited.Archive film of Shllingston to Blandford forum steam railway in the 1960'sContinued from Blandford Forum through charlton Marshal to Spetisbury the S&D railway from operations in the 1960's to 20 years later in the early 1980's.
The remains of the railway track bed and some cuttings I filmed then have now gone. There is no evidence left of the Railway through Bailey Gate and the grand old days of steam railways.
I always thought as a child in the 1960's this line would be here forever with all that work to construct, it took around 2 years and built to last a thousand years, only to last little more than a life time.
Dr Beeching known to be the axeman of the railway branch lines. I remember at the time late 1950's there were many strikes, and transporting freight and commuting by road became more popular and convenient which I would say led more to the branch lines demise. The branch lines could not support themselves financially. In the video you will see the construction of the new Blandford By-Pass from brewery arch. These days with the ever rising cost of road transport Could the railway branch lines make a come back I sure do hope so. In the industrial age of the 1800's land owners fought against the railways through their land now we're fighting to get them back. Hope you enjoyed this memory of the past.

Thanks for your comment great you enjoyed the video. Interesting one about the crossing at Wimborne Don't know. will do some research on that one. most had a brick built structure either side with a steal span across. the spans were removed very soon after the lines were lifted, with the brickwork removed recently for use as hardcore I have loads of Vids and Pics Sadly most don't say where they were taken.

This is a great video, we found it really interesting, especially showing the old footage and the same view as it looks now. We live in Corfe Mullen, and have traced the S&D route around Shillingstone, also around Broadstone, Corfe Mullen and Ashington, but can't find anywhere a photograph of what the railway bridge over the river Stour in Wimborne used to look like, assuming there was one and has since been demolished?
