8mm cine film shot by me over three days in the final week of steam operation on BR Southern region July 1967.
Locations include Waterloo, Winchfield, Southampton, Hinton Admiral, Bounmouth, Mitchledever, Worting Junction and Basingstoke.
The video has an authentic soundtrack recorded at the time of filming.

Brings back memories, my last travel on mainline steam was late 1965 to early 1966 from Woking to Waterloo and back twice a week, it was always behind a Bulleid. I never gave it a thought at the time that it would all be over in 1967!

Remarkable that they were using steam power for passenger trains pretty much right up to the end of steam. That's not how it was in the US at all - steam got pretty quickly pushed off passenger trains in favor of much cleaner diesels and electrics.
