The Cornishman | 60019 Bittern | Saltash And Plymouth | 19th Sepetmber 2010

Today I Though Seeing How This Is The First Time The Bittern Would Be Going Into
cornwall ill make the extra effort to view it crossing the Royal Albert Bridge
into cornwall. The Trees Seemed Much more over grown compaired to other videos
on youtube but none the lest another good advantage point to view them go past.

RAILWAY history was made at the weekend when a streamlined steam locomotive passed through Saltash and into Cornwall.

The Locomotive 60019 Bittern's journey west ensured it was the first of its class to cross into the county.

The spectacular train is of the same class as the record-breaking Mallard.

Enthusiasts and families flocked to various points along the line to witness the occasion.

Bittern is a member of the A4 class which until the early 1960s regularly hauled express trains between London King's Cross and Edinburgh.

There are no records of this iconic type having ever visited Cornwall.
