Classic British Steam Engines: City Of Truro (1x5)

Air date: Jan 01, 2015

The 2000th locomotive to be built at the famous Swindon Works of the Great Western Railway was always going to be something a bit special. And it was! GWR no. 3440 was to be the immortal "CITY of TRURO", the first man-made machine anywhere to be recorded at a speed in excess of 100mph. This program is a tribute to the graceful Edwardian locomotive.
