Campaign launched to keep loco Stamford at railway museum in Rutland
A campaign has been launched to make a 94-year-old steam locomotive a permanent resident of Rutland.
Called âStamfordâ, the loco spent all of its working life at Pilton ironstone quarries and is one of only a handful of quarry steam locomotives that worked in the Rutland quarries to survive.
Its current owners, the volunteer-run Bluebell Railway in Sussex, has agreed to sell âStamfordâ to Rocks by Rail near Cottesmore, originally known as Rutland Railway Museum.
