@rwldproject.bsky.socialLooking forward to speaking to day 2 of the Railway Mission conference, tomorrow.
We'll cover the Railway Work, Life & Death project, how we've already collaborated with the Railway Mission, & how the project might support the Mission's valuable work!

@arthur-bell.bsky.socialThe Railway That Moved Its Engines Elsewhere South Devon's atmospheric railway removed locomotives from trains, but operating the system proved expensive and awkward. #ArthurBell #MuseumOfBadIdeas #AtmosphericRailway #Brunel #RailwayHistory #MeetArthur #InventionHistory
@rwldproject.bsky.socialAnd if we can support the work you're doing on Black #RailwayHistory, please tell us!
That might be sharing what you're doing, or something more direct - always happy to discuss & to help where we can!
@rwldproject.bsky.socialEvery year small steps are made which increase our knowledge & understanding of the UK's Black #RailwayHistory - so do please share with us any new resources or work you're aware of!
We'd like this & future #BlackHistoryMonth threads to be longer, year-on-year.
@rwldproject.bsky.socialOctober is #BlackHistoryMonth - a specific chance to recognise & highlight the roles of People of Colour in the past & present.
That's really needed in #RailwayHistory in the UK, where questions of ethnicity have received only limited attention.
This is particularly so around railway work

@rwldproject.bsky.socialSpace age railway!
It turns, since the outset of electro-mechanical engineering (of course):
Did Space Weather Delay the 10:05 p.m. Train Departure From Exeter on 18 October 1841?
@rwldproject.bsky.socialIn addition, the collaboration between the Midland Railway Society & the academic world is very welcome.
We've long advocated for the need (on both sides) for stronger connections like this.
More of it, please, from other societies & universities!
@mabelquill.bsky.socialThe Railway Age Leaves the Station On September 27, 1825, the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened in England, demonstrating public transport powered by steam locomotives. #TodayInHistory #MabelQuill #RailwayHistory #SteamLocomotive #IndustrialHistory #HistoryTok #HistoryFacts #LearnHistory #fyp
@pamelaclemit.bsky.socialA good day to share my memoir of growing up on the East Coast Main Line, where I witnessed of the demise of the steam age & the rise of diesel-electric locomotives. #RailwayHistory #SteamTrains #Deltics #Northumberland
@rwldproject.bsky.socialThis was a really great day, with such interesting discussions. It gave people a lovely chance to explore #Crewe's #RailwayHistory & share memories of the Works.
Also excellent to help people find ancestors in the accident books we're working on - this is going to be a valuable resource.
