APOLOGIES for not posting over the festive and new year season, but I do hope you liked the video of Boris the spinning snowman - The first video I have posted here on RFTFT! I do hope you enjoyed the festive and new year season and are now managing to cope with the snow January has brought us. The snow has, thankfully, so far not been as bad as it was for the railway of the day in 1955, when a service travelling the now defunct line between Barnard Castle in County Durham and Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria became snowbound. Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you Snowdrift at Bleath Gill. Enjoy.

Wallpaper of the Week, 26 December 2009
WALLPAPER of the Week returns to RFTFT and as it is deepest mid winter, take heart from a photograph I took during the Summer of 2009, showing the track bed of the now long gone Stainmore Railway and the road bridge which still bears the soot of the steam trains which passed under it. It is close to this point that the British Transport Film 'Snowdrift At Bleath Gill' recorded the recovery of the goods train from Kirkby Stephen which became trapped by a snowdrift around half a century ago.
I hope you enjoy the image and are enjoying the festive season.
