Cars wait as 'new' steam locomotive crosses main road in busy town 🚗 🚗 🚗

Ramsbottom on the East Lancashire Railway was the scene as a steam loco, completed in 2019, crossed the main street, with cars waiting at the level crossing.

GWR 2900 "Saint" Class No. 2999 Lady of Legend is a 4-6-0 steam locomotive. It was based on the frames and boiler of 4900 "Hall" Class No. 4942 Maindy Hall, and was mostly constructed at Didcot Railway Centre in Didcot, Oxfordshire, where it is now based. Described as "building the 78th Saint", the project started in the 1970s to look at building a new 'Saint', since none of the original class-members were preserved.
