The steam engine "Freshwater" arriving at Wootton station which is part of Isle of Wight steam railway.
Wootton railway station is a heritage railway station on the Isle of Wight, it opened in 1875, and was an intermediate stop on the Ryde and Newport Railway, Isle of Wight Central Railway, Southern Railway and British Railways. It closed on 21 September 1953. The line was re-opened as an extension to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway in 1971. A new station on a different site to the original was opened in 1987.
If your ever visiting the Island I recommend a trip to Havenstreet and have a ride on one of the old trains with plenty of photo opportunity thrown in for free.
The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a heritage railway, the railway passes through 5½ miles of unspoiled countryside from Smallbrook Junction to Wootton station, passing through the small village of Havenstreet, where the line has a station, headquarters and a depot. At Smallbrook Junction, the steam railway connects with the Island Line.
