Railway Industry Memorial Dedication Service - 22nd May 2012


Published on 22 May 2012 by
On what could probably be described as the 'first day of summer' in the wonderful setting of the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire a significant Railway event took place.
The British Transport Pensioners Federation had initiated the design & installation of this Memorial to all Railwaymen. It was funded by donation & the sponsorship of a number of train operating companies & created by H.L.Perfitt - Stonemasons of Diss in Norfolk. Further information can be seen in the opening & closing credits and if you were not one of the many who attended the event I will not spoil the surprise by describing the memorial further.
In view of the fact that very little (if any) media coverage took place, I hope this video will help to redress that fact & will be enjoyed by everyone associated with the Railway Industry or indeed just has that 'passion' for trains.
AFTER watching the video, if you want to read more go to: http://www.railwayindustrymemorial.com/
