Steam Trains
In keeping with the on-site Head of Steam railway pub, several steam trains still pass through Huddersfield station including the Cotton Mill Express and the Scarborough Flyer.
On the disused side of Platform 2 of this station, an old carriage is bolted to the ground, and set in its window is a plaque commemorating 100 years of Steamtrain Hoorn Medemblik, a Dutch steam train.

Famous quotes containing the words steam and/or trains:
“Time has an undertaking establishment on every block and drives his coffin nails faster than the steam riveters rivet or the stenographers type or the tickers tick out fours and eights and dollar signs and ciphers.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm’s way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
